Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is a new way to understand how well you're managing your diabetes.
How does it relate to A1C?
If you have diabetes, you may know about the A1C test that tells you your average blood glucose over the past 2 to 3 months. A1C is reported as a percent (for example, 7%). Now we have a new way to report A1C called estimated average glucose, or eAG. eAG uses the same units (mg/dl) as your glucose meters.
Why use eAG?
Using eAG may help you get a better idea of how well you are taking care of your diabetes. And that can help you and your health care provider know what changes you may need to make to be as healthy as possible.
