Abstract

Measurement of glycated haemoglobin A (HbA) 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 HbA is expressed as mmol HbA per mol of non-glycated haemoglobin. An HbA of 7% is approximately equal to 53 mmol/mol.
