what is a good estimated average glucose

Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is a way to interpret your A1C results in terms of daily blood sugar levels. Here’s a general guide:

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

6 126 7.0
6.5 140 7.8
7 154 8.6
7.5 169 9.4
8 183 10.1
8.5 197 10.9
9 212 11.8
9.5 226 12.6
10 240 13.4

For most people with diabetes, an A1C goal of 7% or less is recommended, which corresponds to an eAG of 154 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L). However, your specific target may vary based on your age, health conditions, and other factors. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best eAG goal for you.
