what is normal estimated average glucose

The estimated average glucose (eAG) is a way to interpret your A1C results in terms of daily blood sugar levels. Here’s a breakdown of normal eAG levels based on A1C percentages:

A1C (%) eAG (mg/dL) eAG (mmol/L)

5 97 5.4
5.5 111 6.2
6 126 7.0
6.5 140 7.8
7 154 8.6

• Normal eAG: For most people, an A1C below 5.7% is considered normal, which corresponds to an eAG of less than 117 mg/dL (6.5 mmol/L).
• Prediabetes: An A1C between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes, with an eAG of 117–137 mg/dL (6.5–7.6 mmol/L).
• Diabetes: An A1C of 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes, with an eAG of 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) or higher.

Your doctor may set a personalized eAG target based on your health condition and treatment plan.
