[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1603331, member: 438800"] It is not necessarily as sinister as that. I'm a European living in America for the past 18 years. In my opinion the issue is more that, compared to (say) Europeans, Americans are far less aware of the world outside their frontiers. It's a large, sparsely populated country and geographically isolated. This is still the attitude even with globalization and a long history of substantial immigration. I didn't even know that there was more than one set of units for HbA1C until I found this forum! American doctors, test labs, and information sources tend to give only the NGSP percentage numbers.
