Does anyone know the most up-to-date A1C > BG conversions?
I know they've changed a bit in the last couple years and I'd like to have them on reference. I want every 10th of a percent to be meaningful in my progress.

The original mapping of A1c to average blood sugar (now called estimated Average Glucose (eAG)) was a result of the famous DCCT trials. This was most recently updated with a study that actually had people walk around with CGMs (the ADAG study). You can access a good calculator for this most recent conversion formula on the ADA site.

Are you on a quest to more perfectly control glucose homeostasis than the human body without diabetes?

yes, although the 5.6 was the highest for like a year and was right after the marathon and I'd had surgery and not exercised at all at the time of that particular test. I'd hoped to beat it this time but will find out on Wednesday for sure. I've had some colossal screw ups lately so I'm not optimistic.

My result of 7.4 = 166 mg/dl average beats yours in level of depressingness. :P
Yours looks just about perfect!

If it wasn't for that Chinese food, you'd have me beaten. Keep at it and make slow incremental progress. I'm not giving up ever.

Bernstein's calculation is
Mean Plasma Glucose = (A1C x 35.6) - 77.3
so my 5.3 = 111.38 average
This is a bit higher than the calculator, which gave me 105.
Still I prefer the old fashioned "multiply x 18", which gives me 95.4!
