what is an estimated average glucose

Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is a calculated value that translates your A1C percentage into the same units used by blood glucose meters (mg/dL or mmol/L). It provides an average of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, similar to the A1C test.

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

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

6 126 7.0
7 154 8.6
8 183 10.1
9 212 11.8
10 240 13.4

• A1C: Reflects the percentage of hemoglobin coated with sugar.
• eAG: Represents the average blood glucose level over time.

This helps you understand how well your blood sugar is managed and aligns with daily glucose monitoring.
