HbA1c to average glucose
One published equation, printed on the page so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
Nothing you type leaves your browser. Open the full page for 6.5% — or use the complete table below, which needs no JavaScript.
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.
What the HbA1c conversion actually does
- HbA1c is the share of haemoglobin carrying glucose. Red cells live around three months, so the figure describes roughly that window, weighted towards the recent weeks.
- The ADAG regression translates that share into an average glucose. It was fitted on 507 people wearing continuous monitors, and it explained about 84% of the variation — so the output is a central estimate, not your reading.
- mmol/L comes from dividing by 18.016, the molar mass of glucose expressed in these units. mmol/mol comes from the separate NGSP master equation.
- Every row of the chart on this site is computed from these equations at build time, which is why the whole-percentage rows match the NGSP's own published table exactly.
- None of it is interpreted here. HbA1c is unreliable in anaemia, some haemoglobin variants, recent transfusion, advanced kidney disease and pregnancy — several of which are common in India — and only a clinician can weigh that.
eAG (mg/dL) = 28.7 x HbA1c(%) - 46.7 eAG (mmol/L) = eAG (mg/dL) / 18.016 HbA1c (mmol/mol) = (HbA1c(%) - 2.15) x 10.929

Where the equation came from
The regression is from the A1c-Derived Average Glucose study, published in Diabetes Care in 2008. It came from 507 people across ten international centres, each of whom wore continuous glucose monitors and took frequent finger-prick readings over three months, and it explained about 84% of the variation between HbA1c and measured average glucose. It is the equation the American Diabetes Association uses.
The mmol/mol line is the NGSP master equation, which converts between the percentage most Indian labs report and the unit used internationally.

What the number is, and is not
Estimated average glucose is an average over roughly the previous two to three months, weighted towards the more recent weeks. It is not a prediction of tomorrow morning's reading, and it cannot distinguish a person whose glucose sits steadily near the average from one swinging widely either side of it.
There are also well-documented situations in which HbA1c itself is not a reliable measure of average glucose — anaemia, some inherited haemoglobin variants, recent transfusion, advanced kidney disease and pregnancy among them. Several of those are common in India. The detail is here.
