HbA1c to mg/dL Calculator

Formula

To calculate the blood glucose level in mg/dL from Hemoglobin A1c level:

\[ \text{MGDL} = (\text{HBA1C} \times 28.7) - 46.7 \]

Where:

\(\text{MGDL}\) is the Blood Glucose Level in mg/dL
\(\text{HBA1C}\) is the Hemoglobin A1c Level in percentage

HbA1c to mg/dL

HbA1c to mg/dL refers to the conversion of a type of hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement to milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). HbA1c is a blood test that measures the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the past 2 to 3 months, used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. The results are given in percentage, but can be converted to mg/dL for a more direct understanding of blood glucose levels.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following Hemoglobin A1c level:

Hemoglobin A1c Level (\( \text{HBA1C} \)) = 7.0%

Using the formula:

\[ \text{MGDL} = (7.0 \times 28.7) - 46.7 = 490.9 - 46.7 = 444.2 \text{ mg/dL} \]

The blood glucose level is 444.2 mg/dL.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following Hemoglobin A1c level:

Hemoglobin A1c Level (\( \text{HBA1C} \)) = 5.5%

Using the formula:

\[ \text{MGDL} = (5.5 \times 28.7) - 46.7 = 158.85 - 46.7 = 112.15 \text{ mg/dL} \]

The blood glucose level is 112.15 mg/dL.
