Shortfalls of the use of HbA1C-derived eAG in older adults with diabetes

Highlights • Estimated average glucose (eAG) is commonly used to assess glycaemic control. • HbA1C-derived eAG may not correlate with current glycaemic levels in older adults. • HbA1C should be interpreted cautiously when setting goals in older adults.
