HbA1c tracker: follow your blood sugar lab results over time
HbA1c and glucose are the lab tests most used to follow blood sugar. Mediki charts every result from your lab reports, so you can see which direction they are moving in.
Blood sugar tests you can track
- Hemoglobin A1cHbA1c estimates average blood glucose over about 2-3 months by measuring glucose attached to hemoglobin.
- GlucoseGlucose measures blood sugar, the body's main immediate energy source.
- InsulinInsulin measures the hormone that helps move glucose from blood into cells.
- C-PeptideC-peptide reflects the body's own insulin production because it is released with insulin from the pancreas.
What HbA1c shows
HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the past two to three months, while a glucose test is a snapshot of the moment the sample was taken. Following both over time gives a fuller picture than either alone.
Glucose and HbA1c units
Glucose is reported in mmol/L in much of Europe and in mg/dL in the US: 1 mmol/L = 18 mg/dL. Mediki converts it automatically.
HbA1c is usually reported as a percentage, though some labs use mmol/mol. Mediki currently tracks HbA1c in %.
Lab results, not meter readings
Mediki works with laboratory reports. It does not connect to glucose meters or continuous glucose monitors; it is for the tests your doctor orders, charted over months and years.
Track your HbA1c and glucose in one chart
Upload your lab reports as PDFs or photos. Mediki reads every value, converts units and charts each marker against its reference range. Your first 15 pages are free.

What is the difference between HbA1c and glucose?
A glucose test measures your blood sugar at the moment the sample is taken. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the past two to three months, so it changes more slowly.
Can Mediki import readings from my glucose meter?
No. Mediki reads laboratory reports in PDF or photo form. It does not connect to glucose meters or continuous glucose monitors.
How do I convert glucose from mmol/L to mg/dL?
Multiply the mmol/L value by 18. For example, 5.5 mmol/L is 99 mg/dL. To go the other way, divide mg/dL by 18.
