The HbA1c test measures your average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months. To estimate your average blood glucose (eAG) from your HbA1c percentage, you can use the following formula:
eAG (mg/dL) = 28.7 × HbA1c - 46.7
Here’s a quick reference table for common HbA1c values and their corresponding eAG:
HbA1c (%) Estimated Average Glucose (mg/dL)
6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240
This conversion helps you understand how well your blood sugar is being managed over time. However, always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and interpretation of your results.
