[QUOTE="hooha, post: 2355308, member: 356876"] Just a point on units. Blood sugar is measured in mmol/litre OR American standard in mg/ decilitre eg mg/dL. BUT A1c, confusingly is in percentage, Or UK standard in mmol/ MOLE eg mmol/ mol. The important range of Prediabetes is EASY to remember like this ( These numbers I give now are not exact BUT all these numbers are only Guides anyway.) To remember I use PREDIABETES is from 38 - 48 mmol/ mol OR in USA standard from 5.6% -- 6.5%. Some would say predb starts at 5.7% or 39, but I like my nmemonic trick , and I can ALWAYS check online if I'm on the margins of these numbers. Some might say anything above 5% is to be avoided. That is super strict ,like Dr Bernstein . It is a shocking situation that all these conflicting numbers exist. ADVICE varies to prediabetics, type 1diabetics , type 2' etc. I hope this helps some ppl. Personally it took me months of worry to get it clear In my mind. This 50 shades of Diabetes chart was a great help. Note the blood sugar levels in the chart are AVERAGE levels equated to various A1c numbers, they are NOT fasting FBS numbers. [/QUOTE]
