HbA1c vs Diabetes Logs

HbA1c
Converts HbA1c levels between different units (DCCT Percentage, IFCC mmol/mol) and estimates average blood glucose levels (mmol/l, mg/dl). It uses the ADA-recommended equation and presents results to two decimal places. This tool is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

This app converts your HbA1c level (either DCCT Percentage or IFCC mmol/mol) to estimated average blood glucose (eAG) levels (either in mmol/l or mg/dl) and vice versa. Although there are a few methods and equations commonly used to convert these levels from one to another, this application adopts the equation suggested by the ADA (American Diabetes Association) This application ensures that percentages do not exceed 100 (in the case of DCCT percentage HbA1c levels) and that negative or zero values are not input. However, this application does not place any other restrictions on the values entered for conversion, but HbA1c ranges of less than 3.3% / 13.7 mmol/l or more than 19.1% / 185 mmol/mol are not only unrealistic but likely to be inaccurate. All values converted are presented to two decimal places.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Diabetes Logs at 4.6 against HbA1c's 3.3. Diabetes Logs also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 58 months) and review sentiment (40% vs 11%). HbA1c's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
