Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
Your HbA1c translated into the same units a glucose meter shows (mg/dL), so the long-term average is directly comparable to daily readings.
Why it matters
Seeing the three-month average in familiar meter units makes it easier to connect lab results with what your own device reports each morning.
If it runs high
A higher eAG mirrors a higher HbA1c, blood sugar has been running above target on average, not just after one meal.
If it runs low
A lower eAG generally reflects well-controlled blood sugar. If you take glucose-lowering medication and feel shaky or lightheaded, discuss lows with your clinician.
Reference ranges vary by sex, age, and laboratory, your BetterBuy Rx Labs report plots your value on the range that applies to you. A single out-of-range result is a prompt to talk to your clinician, not a diagnosis.
