[QUOTE="TimLaws, post: 910437, member: 183287"] Hi, As I try to monitor my diet v Blood sugar I am getting confused about the different types of readings quoted in the literature etc I am Type 2 My Target result set by my GP is HbA1c 48mmol/mol (IFCC) My 6 monthly results from the hospital labs are 43 & 46 IFCC standardised My monitoring meter measures in mmol/L which this morning showed 6.2 a highish reading for me, so today I would be extra vigilant over what I ate and probably go a touch hungry all day to get the results down to mid 5s How do these 2 readings compare to each other or relate to each other and what is the "normal range". Is it as simple as the 6.2 reading equates to 62 on the 6 monthly hospital reading? Also I have seen blood sugar readings expressed as a %. What is this and how does that relate to the other 2 sets of values recorded Any help would be gratefuly received or a pointer to a web page etc [/QUOTE]
