    Blood Glucose: Glycemic Targets

    1. The focus of glycemic goals is on achieving target A1C levels and on minimizing symptomatic hyper- and hypoglycemia. Glycemic targets are individualized based on the person’s age, duration of diabetes, risk of hypoglycemia, cardiovascular disease presence, and life expectancy. See Table 6: Targets for Glycemic Control for recommended targets, or to find a target for an individual patient, use the interactive Diabetes Canada tool for A1C targets.

    Table 6: Recommandations for Glycemic Targets (adapted from Diabetes Canada)3

    Note: At end of life, A1C measurement is not recommended. Avoid symptomatic hyperglycemia and any hypoglycemia. *based on class of antihyperglycemic medication(s) utilized and the person's characteristics.
