Expert Tip

Normal A1c: <5.7%. Prediabetes: 5.7โ€“6.4%. Diabetes: โ‰ฅ6.5%. Target for diabetics: <7% (ADA recommendation).

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

A1c = (Avg Glucose + 46.7) / 28.7 eAG = 28.7 ร— A1c โˆ’ 46.7

Bidirectional conversion between average glucose and HbA1c percentage.

FAQ

What is the relationship between HbA1c and eAG?
HbA1c measures average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months. The ADA formula eAG = 28.7 ร— A1C - 46.7 converts this percentage into a daily blood glucose reading in mg/dL.
How is HOMA-IR interpreted for insulin resistance?
A HOMA-IR score below 1.0 indicates optimal insulin sensitivity, while scores above 1.9-2.5 suggest early to significant insulin resistance.
Can I use this calculator for medical insulin dosing?
Calculations are for educational and informational tracking. Insulin therapy must always follow specific prescriptions and sliding scales provided by your treating physician.
