To estimate your average blood sugar level from your A1C result, you can use the following formula:
Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) = (28.7 × A1C) - 46.7
This formula provides an approximate average blood glucose level in mg/dL over the past 2-3 months. Below is a table showing the relationship between A1C and eAG:
A1C (%) Estimated Average Glucose (mg/dL)
6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240
Keep in mind that this is an estimate and does not account for daily fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Always consult your healthcare provider for a comprehensive understanding of your blood sugar management.
