[QUOTE="SWUSA_, post: 1342167, member: 337910"] I live in the USA and actually measure my blood glucose in mg/dl instead of the mmol/L used in the UK. I convert it daily to facilitate discussions with members here on the forum which is based in the UK. [B][U]Fasting Blood Sugar Conversion[/U][/B] I simply divide my mg/dl number by 18 to get to the mmol/L. An example would be 100 mg/dl divided by 18 equals 5.5 mmol per liter. Written in mathematical formula its: 100/18 = 5.5 [B][U]HA1c Conversion[/U][/B] I also convert my HA1c which you label HbA1C from USA units to UK units. (DCCT to IFCC) I use this formula: [I]From mmol/mol to %[/I] (New number/10.929)+2.15 [I]From % to mmol/mol[/I] (Old number-2.15)x10.929 I also use this converter to check the accuracy of my math: [URL="http://www.hba1cnet.com/hba1c-calculator/"]www.hba1cnet.com/hba1c-calculator/[/URL] This site also gives you a comparison of what your HA1c would likely be but many factors can effect your HA1c and your daily fasting blood glucose number may produce a different HA1c than this estimate for many reasons.
