Message: <blockquote data-quote="qimqim" data-source="post: 78207" data-attributes="member: 19283">I know there is a relationship between HbA1c and mmol/l. For instance, 7% corresponds to an average blood glucose (over the 8-12 week period) of 8mmmol/l.What I am trying to understand is how one can relate the two readings in order to be significant, if we take into consideration that mmol/l is usually taken while fasting, and that HbA1c reflects an average over 24 hour x 2to3 months, which, obviously, includes high peaks after meals.So, my question is: would a doctor expect the HbA1c to be higher than the mmol/l results? If so, how much higher on average?Thank youqim</blockquote>
