Converting HbA1c -to- Average Glucose Reading

Note -- in the following, the British spelling,
haemoglobin, is changed to the American
spelling, hemoglobin:

What is HbA1c?

HbA1c occurs when hemoglobin joins with
glucose in the blood. Hemoglobin molecules
make up the red blood cells in the blood
stream.

When glucose sticks to these molecules it
forms a glycoslated hemoglobin molecule,
also known as A1c and HbA1c.

The more glucose found in the blood the
more glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) will be
present.

Critical -- converting HbA1c -to- average
glucose reading. At the article above, the
article provides a chart showing that an
HbA1c of 6% = an average blood glucose
of 7 mmol/L. According to the following two
sources, that equates to an average blood
glucose reading of 126 mg/dl (that is the
type of reading we're all accustomed to
seeing in the U.S., on the blood glucose
monitors we use).

So, that seems straight-forward enough.

However, the following recent article by
the promoter of the extreme low carb diet,
Dr. Richard Bernstein, disagrees with the
math above. In a recent article, his math
comes up with an HbA1c of 6% = an aver-
age blood glucose of 140 mg/dl, over
11% higher than the above (based on
his calculations yielding a 7% HbA1c =
an average blood glucose of 180 mg/dl,
and a 6.5% HbA1c = an average blood
glucose of 160 mg/dl).

Another website using the standard HbA1c to
average blood glucose level methodology:

It appears that Dr. Richard Bernstein is the
only person who translates HbA1c values
into glucose levels over 11% higher than
the values mentioned above -and- in the
websites listed below.
