Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / February 2006BG to HbA1c
I was looking for a way to convert my BG reading to reflect what my HbA1c *might* be. I found a person that had a excel spreadsheet to download. I'm not sure how accurate it will be, but I'll guess I'll find out in a couple of weeks when I go to the doc in Feb. I thought I put up a link if anyone is interested. http://www.loanuniverse.com/Diabetes/  SignatureJoe W T2 Nov '05 30mg Actos,3gr Cinnamon, Diet(100 carbs) & 3 mile walk(everyday) & BowFlex(3x a week) *****Diabetes, be proactive, not reactive.***** If we impeach George Bush, who will replace him?

The above URL uses the older one. aver bG = 33.3 x HbA1c - 86 The newer one is: average bG = 35.6 x HbA1c -77.3 Neither one is based on the kind of rigorous bG data that most of us would prefer. Older one: 4 bG tests a day, every day for 60 days (Nathan, et al, N Engl J Med (1984). ) Newer one (DCCT): 7 bG tests a day but only one day every 3 months for several years. The newer one has a R-squared of 0.67 which is not impressive. I haven't found the Nathan article yet. (N. Engl. J. Med requires paid access.)

For someone new to diabetes like me, I thought it might be good enough to be at least an indicator of what I might expect to see from the quarterly labs. Thanks for the info.

Yes, some here will say there is a direct relationship...there exists NO SUCH DIRECT RELATIONSHIP. well, guess you failed those anger management classes.. welp maybe next time eh? funny that my endo gave me a sheet with a formula on it, and interesting enough, it's worked out almost exactly the same each a1c i've had taken.. maybe more reading other then your spiderman comics gman and you might actually learn something about DM. ---- RK - Animas IR1250 pumper ... having fun with autoimmune diseases NOT! dx 5/00 - last a1c 6.3 | > I was looking for a way to convert my BG reading to reflect what my HbA1c | > *might* be.

That is sort of my experience, also... As my doctors have explained, and my own reading has confirmed, the a1c is essentially a reflection of your average BG over the previous 3 months, on the theory that your red blood cells are completely replaced over a three month period. Glycolization of the blood cells that is measured by the a1c occurs as the red blood cells are produced, thus establishing the relationship that makes it a relevant measure as to BG. There are charts and calculations by which the a1c can be interpreted as a measure of average BG. Perhaps this is too simplistic as an explanation, but I think it gets to the basic idea.

Two COMPLETELY different things are being measured...yet...I know...you and half the other hypochondriacs here can wave your wand and make the formula work. I can predict my A1c too...know how...BECAUSE MY ROUTINE VARIES VERY LITTLE AND MY LAST 4 A1C'S HAVE BEEN WITHIN 0.2 OF EACH OTHER.
