As my doc explained it to me, the more glyosylated hemoglobin in your blood, the higher your average blood sugar has been during the last 90 days.


And here is a formula I've found to calculate your average blood sugar for the last 90 days from your HbA1C

average Blood sugar = 33.3 x HbA1c (%) - 86

I would give you the link, but the website is in German.
