Subject: and to educate you a little bit more...

an MT or QA person (who has no experience in lab)only know that they were taught as far as transcription. As the other poster said, the letter I is actually a roman numeral 1. thats why many people relate to A1c rather than AIc, which is very understandable, so of course you wouldn't be marked for it. no one i know has been corrected for either use.

YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY :P
