Blood glucose and HbA1c unit of measurement are different in different part of the world.

On top of page there are two different type of unit of measurement.!!

If you take 5 % to 7.0%, HbA1c average over 90 days, are in the green area therefore it is the best are of control.

If you look at blood glucose mmol/L up to 8.6 is in the good area.

There are comparison table available on the Internet.

At the end of the day, food and drinks intake control, watching out for hidden and free sugar couple with regular exercise can help you to manage your blood glucose levels.

As we age the blood glucose test number can change therefore you need to have a good conversation with your doctor!!

You body can tell you, how many times do you get up in the night to go to toilet?

Do you feel you want a drink at all times?

Can you see clearly?

Do you have any issues on your foot and toes?

Not what you're looking for?
