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.
Critical blood glucose values
Display
Blood glucose
Actions
Very low blood
glucose level
Below 20 mg/dL
(below 1.1 mmol/L)
Immediately seek
medical attention.
Low blood glucose
level
Below 70 mg/dL
(below 3.9 mmol/L)
Have a suitable snack.
Follow your GP's
instructions.
High blood glucose
level
• On empty stomach,
over 100 mg/dL
(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 indicate
hyperglycaemia (high
blood glucose). Seek
medical attention
to coordinate any
measures, if applicable.
High blood glucose
level, possibly ketones
Above 250 mg/dL
(over 13.9 mmol/L)
Conduct ketone test
For this purpose, seek
medical attention.
