They won't have had anyone with any technical knowledge - but they will have had a patient who knows what %ages means and wants them retained.
We still report both old & new numbers [to keep the patients happy].

Presumably someone from lab specialty would have been on the group (or am I being too idealistic?!! )?

Dear All
You will be surprised to see that the attached guidance from NICE refers to HbA1c as % - viz DCCT measurement. 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!
