[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2170097, member: 450212"] This page: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html[/URL] can be used to convert between the two different scales, the DCCT is the one with the % (eg 6.5%), the IFCC (mmol/mol) is the newer one. 1 stone is exactly 14 pounds and stones and pounds were used for many many years in the UK as how peoples weight was measured, most places (where you are likely to get weighed) now use kg, but measuring in stones and pounds is no less accurate than just pounds, but in the UK we aren't used to hearing about just pounds as weight for people (when using the imperial measurements) whereas I think in the US just pounds are used. Also note for the finger prick tests the UK and various other places use mmol/L, whereas the US and some other places use mg/dl (to convert between those two you need to divide the mg/dl number by 18 to get the mmol/L number) [/QUOTE]
