| Hello and welcome Sharon. In terms of regular daily testing people outside the U.S. measure b/g levels differently that we do here. For an approx. equivalent you would use 18 and your multiplier/divisor (a b/g of 8 for you x 18 = 144 here in America, and when you see and American number of 120 you would divide by 18 = 6.6mml) The A1c is a different test altogether - it's sort of an average of the previous 3 months of b/g levels, generally the desired number is under 7%.
This is a really great community so you'll find lots of information and friendly people. Don't ever be afraid or embarrased to ask a question - no such thing as a dumb one!
Take care,
Heather
