A1C and fasting scroes mid May 2017

The VA sent me a letter telling me that my A1C was 7.3 and my fasting blood sugar was 131. I now realize that if I had eaten meat and veggies the night before, I might well have had a much lower fasting score.

I will remember this before the next A1C test.

My VA Doc was pleased with these scores.

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!
