[QUOTE="DavidR, post: 59779, member: 13679"] Something I've just come across regarding HbA1c: [url]http://acb.rsmjournals.com/cgi/content/full/45/4/343[/url] Basically the values of HbA1c will be changing from % (as quoted in all the posts above) to mmol/mol in order to "promote international good care for diabetics" ([i]isn't that what we should be getting anyway?[/i]). The two systems of reporting will run in parallel for at least two years; but I could find no start date in the articles. [url]http://www.nvug.org/news-item+M5a0592163e1.html[/url] shows a table of comparison between the UK current DCCT system and the new IFCC system: [code]DCCT-HbA1c IFCC-HbA1C (%) (mmol/mol) 6.0 42 6.5 48 7.0 53 7.5 59 8.0 64 9.0 75[/code] So who's going to be most confused: diabetics, GPs, DSNs, or the local pathology lab? Now that really does make 42 the answer to life, the universe and everything... [/QUOTE]
