[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2124274, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=513684]@JES 2[/USER]. There are different scales used for expressing blood glucose figures. I assume in Spain your doctor is using the DCCT scale which is shown as a percentage. That is used in UK too, but the IFCC scale is more commonly used. You can use this online converter to find out what your HbA1c would be on the IFCC range: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] This gives your DCCT reading of 5.9% as equivalent to 41.0 on the IFCC scale. In the UK below 42 is non-diabetic, 42-47 is pre-diabetic, and 48 and above is diabetic. So in the UK you would be considered non-diabetic, but close to becoming pre-diabetic. [/QUOTE]
