Glycemic Target

3.2.6.0 Sec­tion 6

This sec­tion now be­gins with a dis­cus­sion of A1C tests to high­light the cen­tral­i­ty of A1C test­ing in glycemic man­age­ment.

The self-‍mon­i­tor­ing of blood glu­cose and con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing text and rec­om­men­da­tions were moved to the new Di­a­betes Tech­nol­o­gy sec­tion.

To em­pha­size that the risks and benefits of glycemic tar­gets can change as di­a­betes pro­gress­es and pa­tients age, a rec­om­men­da­tion was added to reeval­u­ate glycemic tar­gets over time.

The sec­tion was modified to align with the liv­ing Stan­dards up­dates made in April 2018 re­gard­ing the con­sen­sus defini­tion of hy­po­glycemia.
