Frequently asked questions
- What is eAG?
- Estimated average glucose (eAG) translates the HbA1c percentage into mg/dL or mmol/L units familiar from a home glucose meter. It was introduced by the ADA to make A1C results more intuitive.
- Is eAG the same as fasting glucose?
- No. eAG reflects a weighted average over ~3 months including post-meal peaks, not just fasting values. It will typically be higher than a fasting glucose reading.
- What A1C targets do guidelines recommend?
- Most diabetes guidelines recommend A1C below 7% (eAG <154 mg/dL) for most adults with diabetes, though targets are individualised. Speak with your endocrinologist.
