Are the different ranges due to different techniques and/or equipment used
by various labs or are they due to the chief lab technician's estimate of
what's a "normal" range?

if my HbA1c is taken in the office the range is slightly different than when
taken in the outpatient lab...

Mine does not list a lower level. It merely says normal is <6.0. It used
to say that for diabetics, >7.0 meant that the Dr. do something in terms of
glycemic control, but it no longer says that.

When I asked my doctor what the lab's range was, she said 4-6. I never did
find out whether she knew that different labs have different ranges. It
bothers me that the 'lab range' is the same as the 'theoretical range'.

How are you able to determine that? Was the same blood used in two different
labs? If ont, were they done on the same day, with different blood.

It seems from all the varied responses that we should ask our labs how they
set their respective ranges and why the differences between labs.
