ADA and AACE Glycemic Goals


ADA
AACE

A1C
< 7.0%*
< 6.5%
FPG
90–130 mg/dL
< 110 mg/dL
PPG
< 180 mg/dL
< 140 mg/dL

A1C = glycated hemoglobin A1C; AACE = American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists; ADA = American Diabetes Association; FPG = fasting plasma glucose; PPG = postprandial plasma glucose.

*Physicians and patients should attempt to achieve a level as close to normoglycemia (< 6.0%) as possible without experiencing serious adverse events.
