When does a doctor order Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)?

Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is usually reported alongside an HbA1c on diabetes monitoring panels. Doctors order it when patients have symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained tiredness, or when monitoring known diabetes.

Who should get Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) done in Pune?

Maharashtra carries a significant urban diabetes burden, and Pune's fast-growing IT and student population is increasingly affected. Adults above 30 in Pune benefit from periodic health screening that includes Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Kothrud, Katraj, and across the city with chronic conditions, those on long-term medication, and individuals with a relevant family history should test at the frequency their specialist recommends.

What conditions can Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) help diagnose?

It helps assess long-term glucose control and guide changes in medications, insulin dosing, diet, or activity. Abnormal results can come from poor control, illness, certain medicines, or conditions that affect hemoglobin. A family history of diabetes makes regular monitoring with eAG more important.

What do Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) results mean?

Post-meal glucose (2 hours after eating) above 140 mg/dL indicates impaired glucose tolerance. Above 200 mg/dL with symptoms is diagnostic of diabetes. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): 2-hour value below 140 mg/dL is normal, 140–199 mg/dL is pre-diabetes, 200 mg/dL or above is diabetes.

How often should Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) be repeated?

Adults with a normal result: every 3 years from age 30, or annually if overweight or with a family history. Pre-diabetics: every 6 to 12 months. Diagnosed diabetics: HbA1c every 3 months until controlled, then every 6 months. Testing frequency rises during medication changes or pregnancy.
