Was at the doctors today to get my latest results of blood tests. I get confused with all the figures, They tell me that they would like me to get down to around 7 but when they gave me my results they gave it a different way and said I was at 80. What does this equate to? (I know there are different ways of measuring)
 
If your talking about they want it down to 7% yours is currently 9.5% x
 
Some doctors still use the old percentages, out of habit, but labs now send the results in the new mmol/mol way. Here's a conversion table.image.png
 
Thanks Kaylz. I get confused because when I was looking at a conversion chart it has sections for % or mmol/l and I never know what to look at
 
Thanks Robin for that chart - different to the one I have seen
