2 (1=Normal, 2=Prediabetes, 3=Diabetes)
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the HbA1c percentage value from the lab report.
- Review the estimated average glucose (eAG) in mg/dL using the ADA formula.
- Compare the eAG to the patient's self-monitored glucose log for concordance.
- Use the 3-month average glucose to assess glycemic control relative to the <7% target.
- Repeat HbA1c every 3 months for patients not at goal, or every 6 months when stable.
How the result changes with HbA1c
| HbA1c | Estimated Avg Glucose | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| 4.7 | 88.2 mg/dL | 1 (1=Normal, 2=Prediabetes, 3=Diabetes) |
| 8.95 | 210.2 mg/dL | 3 (1=Normal, 2=Prediabetes, 3=Diabetes) |
| 14 | 355.1 mg/dL | 3 (1=Normal, 2=Prediabetes, 3=Diabetes) |
| 18 | 469.9 mg/dL | 3 (1=Normal, 2=Prediabetes, 3=Diabetes) |
What each input means
- HbA1c
