Hba1c different results

[MissMuffett]

Good morning lovely members
When I have my hba1c don’t at the GP practice they give me the result in whole numbers eg the last one was 53. I’ve just phoned the hospital as they did an hba1c on Tuesday (after I’ve been on holiday and celebrating my birthday with cake as well as other things not good for me!) and they tell me it’s 7.3 but I don’t know what that means in relation to the mmols results. Can someone please tell me how to work it out to whole numbers?

7.3 will be 7.3%, which is 56 mmol/mol
Here is a converter

HbA1c Units Converter - DCCT to IFCC

Since June 2011, the way HbA1c values are reported has switched from a percentage to a measurement in mmols/mol.

@EllieM thanks so much, that’s put my mind at rest.
