Guide for use:Help on this term

Prior to 2013, glycosylated haemoglobin levels were usually recorded as a percentage in Australia. However, the International HbA1c Consensus Committee recommends that the best way to record glycosylated haemoglobin levels is in mmol/mol. This recommendation was supported by the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists, the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia, the Australian Diabetes Educators Association, and the Australian Diabetes Society. Following this, HbA1c results are now being recorded in two ways in clinical systems; as a percentage and as mmol/mol.

HbA1c results should be reported for all clients, regardless of the manner in which their HbA1c is recorded.

Comments:Help on this term

Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is an index of average blood glucose level for the previous 2 to 3 months and is used to monitor blood sugar control in people with diabetes.
