What are HbA1c blood test units in India and daily home blood test units as well ?

[sandybrown]

I appreciate that blood test numbers all over the world is measured in different units.

There is photo on the diabetes India showing blood test numbers in % and mmol/L!

Do blood test results come in these units?

I am used to UK units of measurement, I am looking into getting an understanding of members blood test in India and USA>

The International Diabetes Federation and the American College of Endocrinology recommend HbA1c values below 48 mmol/mol (6.5 DCCT %), while the American Diabetes Association recommends HbA1c be below 53 mmol/mol (7.0 DCCT %) for most patients. Recent results from large trials suggest that a target below 53 mmol/mol (7 DCCT %) for older adults with type 2 diabetes may be excessive: Below 53 mmol/mol, the health benefits of reduced A1c become smaller, and the intensive glycemic control required to reach this level leads to an increased rate of dangerous hypoglycemic episodes.
