Wales also made the change 3 months ago. Still a few 'puzzled' clinicians, but no major problems.

Subject: IFCC vs DCCT HbA1c
Dear Colleague,
I attended the EASD (European Association for the Study of Diabetes) meeting last week. Not one mention was made of IFCC HbA1c. All of the oral and poster presentations gave DCCT% results only.
So are we really all ready to move to IFCC reporting next week? Our Trust Diabetes electronic data-base cannot yet accept IFCC results. We are converting our DCCT results from the HbA1c analyser to IFCC using the standard formula.
This whole process has worked out very badly indeed.
Best wishes
Peter
