[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1929468, member: 216415"] Just to clarify, HbA1c measures the percentage of haemoglobin molecules that have a glucose molecule attached. It doesn't matter if you were to measure all the haemoglobin in a litre of blood or in one blood cell, as it is a percentage. Note that each blood cell contains about 270,000,000 haemoglobin molecules. So a non diabetic with HbA1c of say 5% would have 13,500,000 haemoglobin molecules in each cell with glucose attached. If you have an HbA1c of 15% then lack of oxygen is going to be the least of your problems. [/QUOTE]
