[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 1007703, member: 12578"] Yes that's what they put on the prescription for the lab test but she'll probably call it [B]'hémoglobine glyquée[/B] (mine though is still given in percentage not mmol/mol as they now use in the UK see converter.[URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html[/URL] ) If you are measuring your own glucose levels with a monitor then the French are a bit 'odd' they use monitors in mg/dl (not mmol/l) but read it as grams per litre. (eg: 90mg/dl would be read as 0.9g/l and 150mg/dl as 1.5g/l) There is a French wiki page that shows 'average' levels in g/l as normally used in France and mmol/l as in the UK for HbA1c [URL]https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9moglobine_glyqu%C3%A9e[/URL] [/QUOTE]
