Adapting to the IFCC system of reporting HbA1c poses a
challenge to generations of health professionals who have learnt
the percentage system related to the major clinical trials, in type
1 and type 2 diabetes, the DCCT and UKPDS. This handy paperback
illuminates the transition path.
Using real-life case studies to illustrate actual clinical
situations, the book shows you how to use mmol/mol units in daily
practice. Each case study shows the old percentage units alongside
the IFCC units for quick comparison. Produced in association with
Diabetes UK, this pocketbook helps you work with confidence in the
IFCC system.
"The book, on the one hand, by working from the basics, is
an excellent educational tool for those developing experience in
the field of diabetes and on the other, through its real-life
illustrations, can also be beneficial to the more experienced in
facilitating the transition to use of the IFCC units of
reporting." (Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, 1

"Using mainly case studies, this slim volume of 76 pages is
an excellent aid to clinicians as they adjust to using the
internationally recognised IFCC measurement which is replacing the
current DCCT method of presenting HbA1c as a percentage of total
Hb." (Practical Diabetes International, July 2010)
