[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 321351"] I don't think the change in the numbering system for HBA1C is particularly confusing. I tend to still use the % system because my A1CNow meter gives a reading in percent, but there's an easy converter on this website and elsewhere. I'm concerned that you are casting doubt on your hospital reading in comparison to your meter. An HBA1C of 7.7 suggests an average meter reading of 11 mmol which is pretty high. If you're never getting a home reading above 6.5 then something is wrong and it's in your interests to find out what. One possibility is that the hospital hba1c is a bad reading - but I suspect that is rare. Another is that you're not detecting the spikes when they happen. Are you testing at +2 hrs after a meal always - if so, could you put in a week of intensive testing and throw in some +1 and +3 hr readings as well? [/QUOTE]
