AACC Position on eAG

Whereas,

1. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has called for laboratories to express HbA1c results as estimated average blood glucose (eAG).

...

4. There is one published study

AACC believes that:

1. In light of the published data and significant clinician interest, it is appropriate for laboratories in the United States to report eAG along with A1c results.

...

3. At the current time, there is inadequate data to justify sole reporting of eAG without the HbA1c result.

...

Therefore, AACC calls on:

1. Laboratories in the United States to report eAG along with HbA1c.

2. ADA and other groups to develop a coordinated plan for educating clinicians and patients about eAG.

3. ADA and other groups to work toward global harmonization.
