Quick answer
An A1C of 5.7% corresponds to an average glucose of about 117 mg/dL (6.5 mmol/L).
How it works
A1C reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the past three months. This converts it to an estimated average glucose using the formula from the ADAG study.
Formula
eAG (mg/dL) = 28.7 × A1C − 46.7
