[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 907563, member: 94045"] Your 7.3% and 56 mmol/mol are the same. The percentage figure is the old units. The mmol/mol measurement replaced the percentage in 2011, but some labs record both figures. Same with your 7.4% and 57. There is a conversion chart here. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html[/URL] You will also see that your current 57 (7.4%) is equivalent to an average of 9.2mmol/l which is the measurement unit our meters use. The HbA1c is a sort of average of the previous 2 to 3 months blood glucose level, so you have been averaging over 9mmol/l for the past 2 to 3 months. It isn't good, but it could be a lot worse. Many people on here started much, much higher than that. Personally, I wasn't too bad. My diagnostic HbA1c was 53. There is every chance of you getting that right down by November. [/QUOTE]
