1 A data set has three quartiles: the lower quartile, the median of the data set, and the upper quartile. 2  Median: The median divides a data set into two equal parts. 3  Lower quartile: Median of the lower half of the data. 4  Upper quartile: Median of the upper half of the data.
This chart helps to show how your A1C value relates to estimated Average Glucose (eAG). A1C % eAG mg/dL 6% 126 6.5% 140 7% 154 7.5% 169 8% 183 8.5% 197 9% 212 9.5% 226 10% 240 An A1C of 7% or less, the goal for many people with diabetes, is equal to an eAG of 154 mg/dL.ompare your results to other recent values as well as to the normal range to see if blood sugar control is getting better. It might also be helpful to compare the eAG to your 30 day average blood sugar in your meter.
The A1C measures your average blood sugar 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 2-3 months. The A1C value is given as a percentage. It may be more helpful to translate this A1C value into an average glucose value. This is called the estimated Average Glucose or eAG. The eAG uses the same values and units (mg/dL) that you see when you check your blood sugar with your meter or get a report from the lab. This may help you to see how your daily blood sugarchecks relate to your A1C.
