can you calculate your a1c

The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months and is expressed as a percentage. While you cannot calculate your A1C at home, you can estimate it using your average blood glucose levels. Here's a general guide:

A1C % Estimated Average Glucose (mg/dL)

6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240

To estimate your A1C, you can use the formula:

A1C = (Average Blood Glucose + 46.7) / 28.7

For example, if your average blood glucose is 154 mg/dL, your estimated A1C would be:

(154 + 46.7) / 28.7 ≈ 7%

However, for an accurate A1C measurement, you should get a blood test done by a healthcare professional.
