a

Proportion including Level 2 hyperglycemia,

b

Proportion including Level 2 hypoglycemia,

c

The target range is based on limited evidence. More research is needed,

d

No target range ratio is provided for pregnant women with T2DM or gestational diabetes owing to the limited evidence available.
