Our First Goal Is to Set Appropriate HbA1c
Correlation of A1C with Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) Mean plasma glucose A1C (%) mg/dl mmol/l 6 126 7.0 7 154 8.6 8 183 10.2 9 212 11.8 10 240 13.4 11 269 14.9 12 298 16.5 Table 9, as shown on this slide, contains the correlation between A1C levels and mean plasma glucose (PG) levels based on data from the international A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) trial using frequent SMBG and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in 507 adults (83% Caucasian) with type 1, type 2, and no diabetes1 The ADA and the American Association of Clinical Chemistry have determined that the correlation (r = 0.92) is strong enough to justify reporting both an A1C result and an estimated average glucose (eAG) when a clinician orders the A1C test2 A calculator for converting A1C results into eAG, in either mg/dl or mmol/l, is available at http://professional.diabetes.org/eAG. These estimates are based on ADAG data of ~2,700 glucose measurements over 3 months per A1C measurement in 507 adults with type 1, type 2, and no diabetes. The correlation between A1C and average glucose was 0.92. A calculator for converting A1C results into estimated average glucose (eAG), in either mg/dl or mmol/l, is available at http://professional.diabetes.org/GlucoseCalculator.aspx.

Treat the patient, not the blood sugar.
Lifestyle modification Lipid treatment BP control ASA+/- Cigarette cessation Glucose control
Lifestyle intervention
Lifestyle Therapy medical nutrition therapy regular physical activity sufficient amounts of sleep behavioral support smoking cessation and avoidance of all tobacco products. Lifestyle therapy begins with nutrition counseling and education. All patients should strive to attain and maintain an optimal weight through a primarily plant-based diet high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, with limited intake of saturated fatty acids and avoidance of trans fats.
