Thanks for the heads up I now see that there are three figures to contend with
The HBC1 the % Percentage and The BG
Many thanks

Nobleheads link provided all the info and you understood.
I just want to point out one main difference between hba1c and bg levels. Hba1c is measured as mmol/ mol and Bg as mmol/l

Also confusing is that they use mmol/mol like these for Hba1c tests but for immediate testing it's usually mmol/litre, which is about 1/6th as much. I've no idea why they have to be different.

It's a headache at first. The only figures I look at at all are my meter readings (measuring blood sugar at a given moment in mmols) and the HbA1c IFCC figure ( see top of the chart below) and the HbA1c in mmols (representing the average blood sugar level over the preceding 3 month period. The HbA1c is obviously more accurate and more valid as a true indicator, but the meter reading level is how I judge what I eat. I found this chart a real help.
