Our Calculators

All our calculators use clinically validated formulas recommended by major medical organizations:

  • ADAG Formula — The A1C-Derived Average Glucose formula (eAG = 28.7 × A1C − 46.7) from the landmark study by Nathan DM et al., published in Diabetes Care (2008)
  • IFCC/NGSP Conversion — Based on the master equation from the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program
  • ADA Diagnostic Thresholds — Normal (< 5.7%), Prediabetes (5.7-6.4%), and Diabetes (≥ 6.5%) based on American Diabetes Association Standards of Care
