Average sugar (from HbA1c) Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
The same three-month sugar result, shown as a number your home meter would give.
What it measures
Your three-month HbA1c translated back into an everyday sugar number.
Nothing on its own - it is the same information as HbA1c in units you can recognise from a glucometer.
Why it matters for how long you stay well
It adds nothing of its own, so read the three-month average and the cautions that come with it.
How it shows up in daily life
It is the same information as your three-month average, in the units a home glucose meter shows you.
High and low readings
When it reads high
Same story as the three-month average: sugar has been running high.
When it reads low
Same as a low three-month average.
What moves it
Daily life
- everything that moves your three-month average

Listed so a result can be read in context. It is not advice to start, stop or change any medicine; that decision belongs with your physician.
