eAG (mg/dL) details
What eAG (mg/dL) shows
Estimated average glucose (eAG) takes your HbA1c result and converts it into the same units (mg/dL or mmol/L) you'd see on a daily glucose meter reading, making your longer-term blood sugar control easier to relate to day-to-day numbers. It doesn't provide any new information beyond HbA1c itself — it's simply a different, more intuitive way of expressing the same three-month average blood sugar picture, often included alongside HbA1c results to help make sense of the percentage value.
Tests that include eAG (mg/dL)
This test measures hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and estimated average glucose to assess glycemic control in diabetes.
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months, based on how much sugar has attached to your hemoglobin. Key marker for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring.
- eAG (mg/dL) Estimated average glucose — your HbA1c result translated into the same units as a daily glucose meter reading, for easier comparison.

This test combines the measurement of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with the Estimated Average Glucose (eAG). The American Diabetes Association (ADA) suggests getting HbA1c twice a year if your blood sugar is stable, and every three months if it's not well controlled. The eAG translates the HbA1c percentage into the same units used by daily blood sugar tests (mg/dL or mmol/L), making it easier for patients to relate to their day-to-day glucose readings. This test provides clarity on how well blood sugar is controlled over time to guide treatment adjustments. High HbA1c and eAG levels indicate that a patient's blood sugar, suggesting a need for adjustments in treatment.

- eAG (mg/dL) Estimated average glucose — your HbA1c result translated into the same units as a daily glucose meter reading, for easier comparison.
- eAG (mmol/L) Estimated average glucose (eAG) in mmol/L, calculated from your hemoglobin A1c to express roughly what your average blood sugar has been over recent months.
