Do You Know How To Convert A1c Ifcc To Dcct

The pathology shop I go to gives my hba1c results in both % and mmol/mol.

Also my android Diabetic Journal app has a converter for this as well.

Just use the converter provided by @DCUKMod You just play around with the figures in the A1c box until your average BG shows in the mmol/l box.

Though if @Guzzler really wants to know what it is and do it by pen and paper use :
A1c = (avgBS + 46.7)/28.7 where the average is in mg/dl
or A1c = ((18*avgBS) + 46.7)/28.7 for mmol/l - though I hope you're good at dividing by 28.7 for the calculation :)

Thanks, Bluetit. Just wanted a ball park figure-ish. I am trying to gear myself up to get my way overdue labs done (to be perfectly honest, I'm more interested in the liver and kidney function tests much more than A1c results).

Thank you, Rokaab. I may need more paper.... :)
 
I just look it up instead of making sums.

I think I'm going to struggle with the sums, took me ages to figure out how to do trigs to hdl ratio. If I am right with the average of my bg (on paper) I just may get a nonD number at my next review but I have to factor in that I only recently started taking FBGs again (1st September) so I will wait awhile before getting too overconfident.

Or you can enter your average blood sugar into the next calculator down and it calculates your HbA1c ;)

Edit to reinstate the winky face that had disappeared!
