Table 1.
Glycemic control: | |
A1C | < 7.0%*† |
Preprandial glucose or FPG | 90–130 mg/dL |
Peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose | < 180 mg/dL |
Keypoints: | |
• Goals should be individualized | |
• Special populations may require treatment modifications | |
• If A1C goals are not met despite reaching preprandial glucose goals, target treatment to PPG goals if home glucose monitoring data demonstrate abnormally high blood glucose levels |
*Referenced to a nondiabetic range of 4.0%–6.0% using a Diabetes Control and Complications
Trial-based assay.
†More stringent glycemic goals (ie, a normal A1C < 6.0%) may further reduce complications at the cost of increased hypoglycemia risk.
