I tried to convert on the website but it doesn't seem to be working?
Can anyone help, if my average mmol/l is 16, what would my HbA1c be at? I've got my diabetic review on Monday, just wanted to have a rough idea before I go

Thanks in advance, Louise

Looking at this page on the web site, I can see why it is confusing.
The only reference to equivalent average blood sugar is this picture

But this hows the HbA1C as the old percentage whereas the majority of the rest of the page refers to the more commonly used mmol/mol.
There is a conversion table lower down the page but this is not ideal.

Could a mod feedback to the web developers the request to update this diagram?

Thank you, I think I've worked out my average mmol/l being 15 will make my HbA1c at 95?
Thanks for your help
