Type 2 Diabetes Risk & HbA1c Converter
Estimates Type 2 Diabetes risk using the FINDRISC algorithm and converts HbA1c to Estimated Average Glucose (eAG).
About
Type 2 Diabetes often develops slowly over years. Early detection of risk factors allows for lifestyle interventions that can reverse or delay the onset. This tool serves two functions: risk assessment and management monitoring.
The risk section uses the FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) model, a validated questionnaire weighting age, BMI, waist circumference, and history. The management section converts Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) percentages into Estimated Average Glucose (eAG), helping patients correlate 3-month lab results with daily glucometer readings.
Formulas
The ADAG study formula for converting HbA1c (A1C) to eAG in mg/dL is:
For SI units (mmol/L), the formula is derived using the factor 18.015:
