what is eag blood test

The eAG (estimated Average Glucose) blood test is a way to interpret your A1C results in terms of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It converts the A1C percentage into the same units (mg/dL or mmol/L) used in daily blood glucose monitoring.

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

The eAG helps you understand how well your diabetes is managed and aligns with the glucose readings you might see on a daily blood sugar monitor.
