Even for people who don?t have diabetes or high blood sugar, those with higher blood sugar levels are more likely to have memory problems, according to a new study published in the October 23, 2013, online issue of Neurology?, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

The study involved 141 people with an average age of 63 who did not have diabetes or pre-diabetes, which is also called impaired glucose tolerance. People who were overweight, drank more than three-and-a-half servings of alcohol per day, and those who had memory and thinking impairment were not included in the study.

What does 7 mmol/mol correlate to, in terms of A1c ?

Do they mean eg the difference between 5.5% and 6.2%, or eg 52 and 59 - or some other thing?
