This could help explain why it might not have undergone the same rigorous process as Guidance does. It may also explain why it is difficult to find who has been involved in the writing. However, it certainly needs amended.

After we have worked hard to change to IFCC mmol/mol - amazing! This has led to a local diabetologist requesting we revert to DCCT reporting!
