eAG

Estimated Average Glucose converts HbA1c into the same units as a home glucose monitor (mmol/L). It is a direct, intuitive translation of the three-month glucose picture that complements HbA1c without requiring any additional testing.

Same as HbA1c: high carbohydrate/sugar intake, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, physical inactivity, obesity, chronic stress. Haemoglobinopathies can artificially raise or lower eAG independent of glucose.

Symptoms mirror chronic hyperglycaemia: post-meal fatigue, increased thirst and urination, blurred vision, slow wound healing, frequent infection.

Low-glycaemic whole foods: legumes, non-starchy vegetables, whole grains. Consistent meal timing avoids postprandial spikes. Vinegar, cinnamon, and berberine-containing foods lower glucose.

Refined carbohydrates, sugar-sweetened beverages, processed snacks, white rice, and bread drive average glucose higher.
