If you are like me and get the Fructosamin tests instead of the more commonly done HbA1c, because for some of us, HbA1c measurement is not a reliable marker of glycaemic control in diabetics with any condition associated with shortened red blood cell life span, worry not.

I finally found a formula that you can use to get an accurate usable conversion, instead of the Usual tables that doesn't always work due to your values sometimes falling in between tables.

HbA1c = 0.017 X fructosamine level (µmol/L) + 1.61.
