GL48/GL49
Overview of glycaemic recommendations for non-pregnant adults with diabetes
A1C
< 7.0%*
< 53 mmol/mol*
Preprandial capillary plasma glucose
80 – 130 mg/dL*
4.4 – 7.2 mmol/L*
Peak value of postprandial capillary plasma
glucose**
< 180 mg/dL*
10.0 mmol/L*
* For individual patients, more or less strict glycaemic targets may be appropriate. The target values should be adjusted depending
on the length of time the person has had diabetes, age/life expectancy, accompanying diseases, known cardiovascular diseases or
advanced microvascular complications, hypoglycaemia unawareness, as well as individual patient considerations.
** The postprandial glucose value can serve as a target value if the A1C values are not met despite the preprandial glucose targets
having been reached. Postprandial blood glucose measurements should be taken one to two hours after the start of a meal, as this
is when diabetics' values are generally at the highest.

High blood glucose level

(5.6 mmol/L)
2 hours after a meal
over 140 mg/dL
(7.8 mmol/L)
If this high value persists 2 hours
after your last meal, this may in-
dicate hyperglycaemia (high blood
glucose). Seek medical attention
to coordinate any measures, if ap-
plicable.
