A1c Converter

I just got my A1c back and have had a hard time finding a calculator online to see what the number actually correlates to, average blood sugar-wise. So just in case you’re having the same problem, here’s one from Accucheck (there’s a link on the upper right hand side of the screen).

When I was diagnosed eight years ago, I believe that my A1c was a completely insane 11.4. That’s a three-month average of 321, people! It’s amazing that I didn’t pass out.
