Converting A1C to eAG

The formula to convert A1C to "estimated average glucose" (or eAG) number" came from this webpage: The author (Tara Dairman) recommended going to: www.diabetes.org/ag to use a simple conversion window. The governing equation is;

28.7 x HbA1c - 46.7 = eAG (in mg/dl)

There are interesting articles about this, articles well worth reading. This method definitely has it's critics!

A1C to eAG

I read an interesting article that stated a study has been done to allow the converting of A1C readings to equivalent in terms of the readings we take as required. In my case, twice a week (Tuesday and Friday), I check my blood sugar as soon as I can after getting up in the morning and then two hours after finishing dinner (the evening meal). My morning score was 117.

This study claims to have a simple equation to convert A1C into these kind of values.

I've emailed the ADA twice asking about this but did not get a reply.

I would think they would be more eager to give me this info. The fact they are selling a calculator to perform this calculation has nothing to do with the non reply? Could it???

Anthony Robbins organization. It has been sent around the world ten times

MINUTES. Otherwise you will get a very unpleasant surprise. This is true,
even if you are not superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.

Now, here's the FUN part!


Send this to at least 5 people and your life will improve.


1-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.


5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.


9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks 15 and above:
