Measurement of glycated haemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) provides an indication of longer-term glycaemic control. Standardisation of this test between laboratories is difficult to achieve, and most assays are currently calibrated to the values used in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT-aligned). With the availability of more specific reference standards it is now proposed that HbA1C is expressed as mmol HbA1C per mol of non-glycated haemoglobin. An HbA1C of 7% is approximately equal to 53 mmol/mol.

Key Words: estimated average glucose • glycaemic control • glycated haemoglobin • HbA1C • HbA1C units
