About

The HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) to estimated average glucose (eAG) converter translates HbA1c percentage to the corresponding average blood glucose level over the past 2–3 months. This relationship was established by the A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) study. HbA1c is used for diabetes diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment target assessment.

Formula

eAG (mg/dL) = 28.7 × HbA1c − 46.7
eAG (mmol/L) = 1.59 × HbA1c − 2.59
