An analysis of data from 470 participants
of the ADAG study (237
with type 1 diabetes and 147 with
type 2 diabetes) found that actual
average glucose levels associated
with conventional A1C targets were
higher than older DCCT and ADA
targets (Table 6.1) (21,25). These findings
support that premeal glucose
targets may be relaxed without undermining
overall glycemic control as
measured by A1C. These data have
prompted a revision in the ADArecommended
premeal target to 80–
130 mg/dL (4.4–7.2 mmol/L).
