Agree an individualised HbA1c target based on: the person’s needs and circumstances including preferences, comorbidities, risks from polypharmacy and tight blood glucose control and ability to achieve longer-term risk-reduction benefits. Where appropriate, support the person to aim for the HbA1c levels in the algorithm. Measure HbA1c levels at 3/6 monthly intervals, as appropriate. If the person achieves an HbA1c target lower than target with no hypoglycaemia, encourage them to maintain it. Be aware that there are other possible reasons for a low HbA1c level.
