How 56 mmol/mol of HbA1c converts to %
HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) reflects average blood glucose over the previous 8 to 12 weeks. HbA1c is reported as a percentage (NGSP/DCCT units) on U.S. and UK reports and in mmol/mol (IFCC units) on most other European reports. Many labs now print both.
HbA1c uses the IFCC-NGSP master equation rather than a single factor. (56 mmol/mol + 23.50) ÷ 10.929 = 7.3 %. Source: IFCC-NGSP master equation (IFCC mmol/mol = 10.929 × (NGSP% − 2.15)).
