Summary of glycemic recommendations for many nonpregnant adults with diabetes

A1C	<7.0%*
Preprandial capillary plasma glucose	70–130 mg/dL* (3.9–7.2 mmol/L)
Peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose† Goals should be individualized based on* ○ duration of diabetes ○ age/life expectancy ○ comorbid conditions ○ known CVD or advanced microvascular complications ○ hypoglycemia unawareness ○ individual patient considerations More- or less-stringent glycemic goals may be appropriate for individual patients Postprandial glucose may be targeted if A1C goals are not met despite reaching preprandial glucose goals	<180 mg/dL* (<10.0 mmol/L)

†Postprandial glucose measurements should be made 1–2 h after the beginning of the meal, generally peak levels in patients with diabetes.
