Table 3.

American Diabetes Association 2014 guidelines for type 1 diabetes management.

HbA1c 6.5–7.0%
Blood pressure <140/80 mmHg
may be appropriate to aim for lower 130/80 in individual cases
Lipids LDL < 1.8–2.6 mmol/l.
Triglyceride < 1.7 mmol/l.
HDL cholesterol > 1.0 mmol/l (men), >1.3 mmol/l (women)
Where there is pre-existing CVD, or multiple CVD risk factors, or when the patient is over 40 years of age, lipid lowering therapy should be considered.
Antiplatelet Consider where there are multiple CVD risk factors, or where there has been previous CVD.
Smoking Smoking cessation
Albuminuria ACE inhibitors or ARBs if urinary albumin excretion >30 mg/24 hours
Other medical management Known CVD: consider ACE inhibitor, aspirin and statin
Prior myocardial infarct: beta blocker

ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein.
