New to Old re HbA1c results?

[Serena51]

I was 75 in the new numbers and am down to 58, so presumably that is better.....

But I can't work out how to use the converter thingy on the front page here, it keeps saying 3 or 4 but I know that is not right.

Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I know that I will have to get used to the new way but I just want to know how bad or better I've got.

Thankyou in advance


Jane

try this link this is the one that works for me put your number in the bottom and levels you are used to come up at the top

hope it works

Yeah, debbie's right. Gives you 7.5% on the old measurement. So well done on the improvement, keep at it.

I really don't understand why they have to change things! When I get my result I'm always told both ways.

Thanks all. I have ME and so my brain is useless (my excuse) - I was putting the numbers in the wrong boxes! Hey ho.
