Key result
Estimated average glucose derived from HbA1c showed strong positive correlations and good agreement with fasting plasma glucose, regardless of normal, HbE, or high HbA2 hemoglobin patterns.
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the association between HbA1c-derived estimated average glucose (eAG) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) values.
Observational (n=1,285)
High HbA2 or HbE does not affect the association between HbA1c-derived estimated average glucose and fasting plasma glucose, supporting the reporting of eAG alongside HbA1c in these patients.

Supports eAG reporting with HbA1c in Hb variants; extends observational data but should not yet change practice.
Sriwimol et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Glycemic control in normal and abnormal hemoglobin patterns (n=1,285). Estimated average glucose (eAG) vs. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was evaluated on Differences, agreements, and correlations between eAG and FPG. Estimated average glucose derived from HbA1c showed strong positive correlations and good agreement with fasting plasma glucose, regardless of normal, HbE, or high HbA2 hemoglobin patterns.
