Sorry & i don't wish to sound rude, but HbA1c, mg/dl, HbA1c(IFCC), mmol/L are quite likely acronyms with some sort of relative medical or scientific meaning that goes straight over my head, & i am sure many others. You shouldn't have to have bamboozled with this type of thing. KISS, "Keep it...

Hi, i'm in Norfolk UK. The readings are when i have a 9 monthly check up & give a larger type blood sample to be sent off to be analysed, then i go back a week later for results. This is when i get it in mg/dL

Ok there are 2-3 types of reading/formulas for the same thing. But why don't the make most meters with both reading so you can choose or get both on the screen. Also when i go to my diabetic nurse she gives my blood results in mg/d which is always confusing when i am giving her my bloods over...

Hi, yes, i have been taking 1 x 10mg tablet a day for about 6 months. It was to try & take me off Gliclazide, but it didn't agree with me & about 2 weeks ago i went back to Gliclazide & feel a lot better for it. It was to also help lose weight, which it did, but gave me a massive thirst &...
