title: [Propositions for the standardized expression of HbA 1c results].
abstract: The 2007 international consensus about the standardization of HbA(1c) determination and expression of results is progressively implemented in most countries. In France, a common working group of the Société française de biologie clinique (SFBC) and the Société francophone de diabétologie (SFD) has expressed the following recommendations. HbA(1c) results are expressed in percentage of total hemoglobin and in mmol HbA(1c)/mol Hb, but are not converted into estimated average glucose. A table indicating the correspondence between HbA(1c) and estimated average glucose may be given with the results, subject to precautions of interpretation at the individual level.
