[QUOTE="Teabags, post: 569956, member: 113328"] Thank you for your post. On the blood test I had done at the doctors the HbA1c level was expressed as 42.0 I looked this up on the web and have copied it below, as can be seen they show both the higher type of reading, (as per my doctors results), along with the ones we use in brackets. It really makes a confusing issue even more confusing. On the basis of the doctors results of 42.0 shown for me, I am just outside the non-diabetic range of 20 - 41. [I]Targets for HbA1c are as follows: [/I] [LIST] [*][I]For [B]people without diabetes[/B], the range is [B]20-41 mmol/mol (4-5.9%)[/B][/I] [*][I]For[B] people with diabetes[/B], an HbA1c level of [B]48 mmol/mol (6.5%)[/B] is considered good control, although some people may prefer their numbers to be closer to that of non-diabetics[/I] [*][I]For[B] people at greater risk of hypoglycemia[/B] (lower than normal blood sugar), a target HbA1c of [B]59 mmol/mol (7.5%)[/B] to reduce the risk of hypos[/I] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
