eAG: Calculate eAG (Estimated Average Glucose)

Description

Using HbA1C (hemoglobin A1C) levels, estimate the average amount of glucose in one's body, derived by Nathan et al. 2008. Usage represents the average glucose level for a cumulative period of 3 months and has been shown to conocordant with fasting glucose levels. HbA1C levels range between 4-5.6 in non-diabetic populations.

Usage

eAG(a1c)

Value

A numeric value/vector with predicted level of estimated average glucose.

Arguments

a1c

Numeric value of percent glycolated hemoglobin (HbA1C).
