HbA1c 11.2%
Converted with the published ADAG regression. What it means for you is a question for a doctor, not for this page.
275 mg/dL An HbA1c of 11.2% corresponds to an estimated average glucose of about 275 mg/dL, which is 15.2 mmol/L. In IFCC units the same result is 99 mmol/mol.
Against the American Diabetes Association criteria, 11.2% is at or above 6.5%, which is the threshold for the diabetes range. That is a statement about a published threshold — it is not a diagnosis, and a diagnosis requires confirmation and a doctor.
Nothing here can diagnose you, and nothing here is a treatment plan. Blood glucose results are interpreted by a doctor alongside your history, your symptoms and a repeat test — a single number on a screen is not a diagnosis. If any reading concerns you, or if you feel unwell, see a doctor rather than a website.
The arithmetic
28.7 × 11.2 − 46.7 = 274.7 mg/dL · 274.7 ÷ 18.016 = 15.25 mmol/L
(11.2 − 2.15) × 10.929 = 98.9 mmol/mol
Rounded on this page to 275 mg/dL, 15.2 mmol/L and 99 mmol/mol. The equation is the ADAG regression from Diabetes Care 2008, which is the one the American Diabetes Association uses; the mmol/mol line is the NGSP master equation.

Estimated average glucose is an average across roughly the previous three months. It is not a prediction of your reading tomorrow morning, and two people with the same HbA1c can have very different day-to-day swings.
What this page is careful not to say
It does not tell you whether 11.2% is good or bad for you, because that depends on things a web page cannot see — whether you have already been diagnosed, what else is on your report, whether you have a condition that makes HbA1c unreliable, and what your doctor is trying to achieve. It publishes no targets for anyone.
A result in this range is a reason to see a doctor and follow their advice about repeating the test — not a reason to start any diet, supplement or medicine you read about online.

General information only — NOT medical advice, and never a diagnosis. Only a doctor can interpret your results and diagnose or treat diabetes. If a reading concerns you, see a doctor rather than a website. Every threshold, equation and glycemic index value used on this site is listed with its publication on the data & method page.
