You're confusing two different measurements.
HbA1c measures glycated haemoglobin, the amount of glucose that has stuck to your blood cells over the last 3-4 months.
It is measured in mmol/mol.

Your blood sugar level is measured in mmol/L

Your HbA1c is 5.9 in old money, giving an average of 7.4

I hope that's reassuring. You're now in the 5% club. so :clap: :clap: :clap:
