A1C_calculator v.1
The A1C calculator checks the long term blood sugar levels based on the glycated hemoglobin assessment.
To calculate the A1C level and the average blood sugar level.
To calculate the A1C level and the average blood sugar level by give one of the parameters (A1C or average blood sugar) as input and then estimate the other. To estimate the A1C level the following steps take place: Step 1: Calculate A = Average Blood Sugar + 46.7 Step 2: Calculate A1C level = A/28.7 To estimate the Average Blood Sugar level, the steps are: Step 1: Calculate A = A1C level x 28.7 Step 2: Calculate Average Blood Sugar = A – 46.7 The target for normal A1C is below 7% and values over 8% is not normal.
