NOTE:
The 2010 American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care includes HbA1c (≤6.5%) as a
criterion for diagnosis of diabetes.
The International Diabetes Federation and American College of Endocrinology recommend HbA1c <
6.5% (48 mmol/mol); the ADA recommends HbA1c < 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) for most patients.
Results may vary with analytical technique, age, and biological variation.
