Diabetes is diagnosed and monitored by testing HBA1c

This measures the sugar attached to the haemoglobin, so it should give an average reading from past few months. (The life of a red blood cell) An average is said to be more useful than a random reading. Unless your haemoglobin is very abnormal, your results should be accurate.

The range is often shown as follows:

* HbA1c below 41 mmol/mol (6.0%): Non-diabetic

* HbA1c between 42 and 47 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%): Impaired glucose regulation      (IGR) or Prediabetes

* HbA1c of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) or over: Type 2 diabetes

If it’s 36 that’s great—you don’t have any signs of diabetes.
