eAG From A1c
Estimate average glucose in mg/dL from hemoglobin A1c with the documented ADAG regression 28.7 x A1c - 46.7.
Description
Estimate average glucose in mg/dL from hemoglobin A1c with the documented ADAG regression 28.7 x A1c - 46.7.
eAG From A1c is a focused biology tool that estimate average glucose in mg/dL from hemoglobin A1c with the documented ADAG regression 28.7 x A1c - 46.7. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use eAG From A1c
Use eAG From A1c when you need to estimate average glucose in mg/dL from hemoglobin A1c with the documented ADAG regression 28.7 x A1c - 46.7. Enter HbA1c using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- HbA1c
- A finite measured or assumed value from 3 through 20, expressed in %.
How eAG From A1c calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Estimate average glucose in mg/dL from hemoglobin A1c with the documented ADAG regression 28.7 x A1c - 46.7.
- Estimated average glucose
- The calculated estimated average glucose in mg/dL.
Limitations of eAG From A1c
The output is an estimate tied to the stated model and coefficients; it is not a direct measurement and should retain that label when reported. It is informational and cannot diagnose a condition, select treatment, or replace professional interpretation of the original measurements. HbA1c must remain between 3 and 20.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original HbA1c values and their units alongside the result. HbA1c Category Lookup is useful when you instead need to classify a hemoglobin A1c percentage as normal below 5.7 percent, prediabetes below 6.5 percent, or diabetes otherwise. Rule Of Three Hct provides another view by helping you approximate hematocrit from hemoglobin with the rule of three: each g/dL of hemoglobin contributes about three percent hematocrit.
