Grazer Well-Known Member Messages 3,115 Aug 30, 2012 #2 Don't think you mean 52%. You'd probably be dead! If you mean 52 mmols, then it equates to 6.9% in old money.

Grazer Well-Known Member Messages 3,115 Aug 30, 2012 #8 Thats a fantastic result from 11 earlier in the year! Well done you! Ideally, you'll get it below 6.5% by the next test, so stick at it.

A Anonymous Guest Aug 30, 2012 #10 It's excellent - 6.5% is, I think, the level at which you get diagnosed as diabetic - so 6.9 is a good result
