[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 641109, member: 94045"] It is the different measurement units and very confusing. The HbA1c measurement units changed in (I think 2011) but some doctors/people are still on the old one. The new one is measured in mmol/mol and will result in a figure like 59. The old one was measured in a percentage and will result in a figure like 7.5%. Our meters and ordinary glucose tests at the surgery are measure in mmol/l and result in a figure like 9.4mmol/l This is the converter [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html[/url] To make matters much worse, some other countries measure in mg/dl and result in a figure like 130. (Americans and others) There is a converter for this here [url]http://www.soc-bdr.org/rds/authors/unit_tables_conversions_and_genetic_dictionaries/conversion_glucose_mg_dl_to_mmol_l/index_en.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
