A1C to Glucose (eAG) Converter
Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
Target A1C Range
Target A1C for most non-pregnant adults with diabetes is below 7.0% (below 154 mg/dL eAG).
A1C to eAG Conversion for Diabetes Management
The **A1C to Glucose Converter** is an essential tool for **diabetes management**, allowing patients and clinicians to translate the long-term **Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)** percentage into an estimated **average blood sugar** reading, known as **Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)**. While **HbA1c** measures the percentage of red blood cells with sugar attached over the last 2-3 months, the **eAG** provides a familiar reading in **mg/dL** or **mmol/L** that mirrors day-to-day blood glucose monitor results.
The A1C to eAG Formula
The conversion is based on a linear regression model established by the ADAG (A1C-Derived Average Glucose) study. The formula ensures highly accurate **HbA1c to eAG** conversion:
The **eAG** result helps make **HbA1c** results more actionable by relating the three-month average directly to daily **blood glucose** targets. Conversion between **mg/dL** (US standard) and **mmol/L** (global standard) is also provided, ensuring maximum usability for patients worldwide.
Interpreting Your Estimated Average Glucose
For most individuals, an **HbA1c** below $5.7\%$ (eAG $\approx 115$ $\text{mg/dL}$) is considered non-diabetic. The typical target for effective **diabetes management** is an **A1C** of $\leq 7.0\%$ (eAG $\approx 154$ $\text{mg/dL}$). Regular testing and accurate **A1C calculation** are key to avoiding long-term complications associated with elevated **average blood sugar**.
A1C to Glucose Conversion FAQs
The main purpose of the **A1C to Glucose Converter** is to simplify the interpretation of the **HbA1c** test. By converting the **HbA1c percentage** into **Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)** in **mg/dL** or **mmol/L**, patients can better understand their long-term **average blood sugar** using units they see daily on their glucose meters.
For individuals without diabetes, an **HbA1c** result below **$5.7\%$** is considered normal. For those with diabetes, the target **A1C** for effective **diabetes management** is typically **$7.0\%$** or lower, depending on individual health factors.
The **eAG calculation** (Estimated Average Glucose) is considered highly accurate, based on consensus from the ADAG study. While it is an estimate, it provides the most reliable way to link your 3-month **HbA1c** average to your daily **blood glucose** levels for **diabetes management**.
