What is normal eAG?
That corresponds to an A1C test result that’s less than 7 percent. The ADA defines the following eAG ranges: Normal range: less than 114 mg/dL. Prediabetes range: greater than 114 mg/dL and less than 140 mg/dL. Diabetes range: greater than 140 mg/dL.
What does eAG mean in a blood test?
Your health care provider may report your A1C test result as eAG, or “average glucose,” which directly correlates to your A1C. eAG may help you understand your A1C value because eAG is reported as the same unit (mg/dL) that you see through self-monitoring on your meter or continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
What is the difference between eAG and HbA1c?
While HbA1c is reported as a percentage, EAG is reported in mg/dL, just like your home-based glucose monitor. This makes it easy to compare results and follow your progress. Just keep in mind that EAG is not the same average that you get from your daily glucose meter readings¹.
What is borderline diabetic A1C?
What Is A Borderline A1C Level? Your doctor can use the results of an A1C test to diagnose borderline diabetes. A “normal” A1C level is under 5.7%. In prediabetes, A1C is higher than normal (5.7 to 6.4%). You can be diagnosed with diabetes if your A1C is higher than than 6.5%.
What is a healthy eAG number?
Understanding Your eAG Readings The normal value for eAG is between 70 mg/dl and 126 mg/dl (A1C: 4% to 6%). A person with diabetes should aim for an eAG less than 154 mg/dl (A1C < 7%) to lower the risk for diabetes complications.
What is a good glucose reading?
A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
Does HbA1C increase with age?
Aging is associated with increased HbA1c levels, independently of glucose levels and insulin resistance, and also with decreased HbA1c diagnostic specificity. Diabet Med.
What is a normal A1C for a woman?
The normal A1c is less than 5.7%. You have a higher risk for diabetes if your A1c is 5.7% to 6.4%. If your level is 6.5% or higher, you have diabetes. The A1c test result also can be used to find your estimated average glucose, or eAG.
