[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1781903, member: 245335"] Well done on both those results, both those readings, being under 42, are in the non diabetic range. Surprised he wanted to see your readings go higher but not sure why concern about going up 1 mmol/mol (one part in a thousand) or even trying to apportion blame to eating anything, not for 1 mmol/mol anyway. Any chemists out there, I might need correcting. As far as blood is concerned, one mole (mol) is equal to [B]6.02214179[/B] × 10 23 molecules, (23 zeroes), so a millimole (mmol) is [B]6.02214179[/B] × 10 20 molecules (20 zeroes). By the way 6.02214179 X 10 to the 23 is known as Avogadro's number. A measurement of 38 mmol/mol is 38 glycated molecules per 1,000 and that means that you have seen a rise of 1 glycated molecule per 1,000 molecules of blood. If you factor in the inaccuracy of HbA1c blood tests ([URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2016/oct/scientists-question-accuracy-of-hba1c-testing-due-to-red-blood-cell-age-variability-91218453.html[/URL]) either one could be slightly out and hey presto you have the same number. If I've got that wrong, I apologise unreservedly, I studied chemistry a long time ago and wasn't very clever then. Keep up the good work, [/QUOTE]
