Selected ADA goals	Composite of Selected ADA Goals
HbA1c <7.0%	HbA1c <7.0%, no weight gain, and no hypoglycemia†
*HbA1c ≤6.5%	HbA1c ≤6.5%, no weight gain, and no hypoglycemia†
**FBG <6.99 mmol/L	HbA1c <7.0%, SBP <130 mm Hg, and LDL <2.59 mmol/L
No weight gain	HbA1c ≤6.5%, SBP <130 mm Hg, and LDL <2.59 mmol/L
Any weight loss
No hypoglycemia†
SBP <130 mm Hg
LDL <2.59 mmol/L

*Actual ADA goal is <6.5% if it can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia.

**Not an ADA goal (diabetes diagnosis).

†Hypoglycemia is defined as documented blood glucose <3 mmol/L (<54 mg/dL).

Glucose conversion factor, 0.05551; LDL conversion factor, 0.02586.

FBG, fasting blood glucose; LDL, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
