[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 356298, member: 12578"] Looks like the one on here now gives the same results as the one on the ADA website.[url=http://professional.diabetes.org/GlucoseCalculator.aspx]http://professional.diabetes.org/GlucoseCalculator.aspx[/url] That's based on recent research using continuous glucose monitors. Even then it's only an estimated average, there are people with higher averages and lower averages with similar HbA1cs. You also have to take into account the fact that, even if you test many times a day you may miss spikes (say at an hour after eating) and dips so your real average may not be the same as your meter average. Glucose monitors also vary as to accuracy. The eAg is really meant to give a guide as to your average glucose levels from a previous HbA1c rather than to predict your next one. If you have found that the older conversions were predictive for you, then as long as you have a similar amount of tests then you could keep the same target. [/QUOTE]
