A1C to blood glucose chart

A1C results are given as a percentage (7%), whereas blood glucose results are given in milligrams per deciliter or millimoles per liter (112 mg/dl or 6.2 mmol/l).

The A1C number in percentage is confusing for many, because every one measures their blood glucose in mg/dl or mmol/l using their blood glucose monitor. How these two different data’s can easily be interpreted.
