[QUOTE="Redshank, post: 2153233, member: 325494"] [USER=514925]@DaveH2[/USER] Confusingly there are different scales used for different purposes. The test at the Doctors was probably HbA1c, measured in mol/mol, where 42 is just Prediabetic. (This also can be measured as a %) Your meter measures in mol/l which is a different scale. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html[/URL] If you look at the colour diagram half way down this page, it compares HbA1c, which is an average measure of about 3 months to a meter reading at home which is a snapshot of the time you tested. The rest of the page explains more. [/QUOTE]
