what is eag in blood test

eAG stands for Estimated Average Glucose, which is a way to interpret your A1C test results in terms of everyday blood glucose levels. The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, and eAG translates this percentage into the same units (mg/dL) used by home glucose meters.

Here’s a quick reference table for A1C and eAG:

A1C (%) eAG (mg/dL)

6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240

For example, if your A1C is 7%, your eAG is approximately 154 mg/dL. This helps you understand how well your blood sugar is being managed over time.
