  3. aThe range of specified A1C for this fasting glucose level (6.8 mmol/L) is from 5.5 to 6.49 %
  4. bModified from Wei et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:1048–1051 [12]. These estimates are based on the SMBG data from 470 of the ADAG study participants (237 with type 1 diabetes and 147 with type 2 diabetes) to determine the average fasting blood glucose for specified HbA1c groups
  5. cThe range of specified A1C for this fasting glucose level (9.9 mmol/L) is from 8.0 to 8.5 %
