Have just had my blood results and HbA1c is 50 (new way of giving result). The receptionist didn't know what that was in old terms but said it should be between 48-59. I think 50 equates to 6.7% (which is not great as far as my HbA1c's go) but surely her range can't be right, I try to aim for lower than 6.5% (even if not getting there). Maybe I'm not correct with 50 meaning 6.7%, am hoping someone knows more than me .
On a good note, my cholesterol is 3.5, much better as it started out as 6.3, statins have been upped to 40mg per day though and reading about statins, not sure if this is a good thing.
