What does eAG stand for in diabetes management?

• A. Estimated Average Glucose
• B. Electronic Average Glucose
• C. Emergency Average Glucose
• D. Effective Average Glucose

Answer: (A)

eAG stands for Estimated Average Glucose. This concept is about translating the HbA1c result, which reflects average blood glucose over roughly three months, into a number that looks like daily glucose readings you see on a meter. By converting HbA1c into an estimated average glucose value (in mg/dL or mmol/L), it becomes easier to relate long-term control to day-to-day monitoring. For example, an HbA1c of about 7% roughly corresponds to an eAG of 154 mg/dL (about 8.6 mmol/L). The other terms listed aren’t standard ways to denote this concept.
