Estimating Glycemia From HbA1c and CGM: Analysis of Accuracy and Sources of Discrepancy

Abstract

The accuracy of estimates of eAG90 from limited periods of CGM can be improved by averaging with an HbA1c-based estimate or extending the monitoring period beyond ∼26 days. Large mismatches between eAG90 estimated from CGM and HbA1c are not unusual and may persist due to stable nonglycemic factors.
