A1C to eAG formula

eAG (mg/dL) = 28.7 × A1C − 46.7 eAG (mmol/L) = eAG (mg/dL) ÷ 18.016 IFCC (mmol/mol) = (A1C − 2.15) × 10.929

The formula comes from the international A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) study, Nathan et al., Diabetes Care 2008, which compared A1C with months of continuous glucose readings. Example: A1C 7% → 28.7 × 7 − 46.7 = 154 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L).

Cut-offs from the American Diabetes Association Standards of Care. Many adults with diabetes aim for an A1C below 7%, but targets are set individually with a clinician.

Frequently asked questions

What average blood sugar is an A1C of 7?

About 154 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L).

What A1C level is prediabetes?

5.7% to 6.4%, per the American Diabetes Association.

Why doesn’t my meter average match my eAG?

Finger-stick readings sample only certain moments; A1C reflects about 2–3 months of glucose and is affected by red blood cell lifespan.
