While a summary of the what you have read is contained within the literature review, it goes well beyond merely summarizing professional literature. It focuses on a specific topic of interest to you and includes a critical analysis of the relationship among different works, and relating this research to your work.
Dr. Richard Bernstein, who is a type I diabetic and produces no insulin of his own, has made the calculations without the influence of insulin.

Blood Sugar A1C Calculator Formulas: Estimated Average Plasma Blood Glucose (mg/dl) = (HbA1c * 35.6) - 77.3. Estimated Average Plasma Blood Glucose (mmol/L) = (HbA1c * 1.98) - 4.29. Estimated Average whole blood glucose (eAG) = Plasma Blood Glucose / 1.12. Reference: C. Rohlfing et al.
