Figure 1 Algorithm to set the HbA1c target (Dutch diabetes guideline). This algorithm shows that patients aged <70 years and those aged ≥70 years treated with a lifestyle advice only or with metformin monotherapy should achieve an HbA1c target ≤ 7% (53 mmol/mol). Patients above 70 years who are using more blood glucose-lowering agents than metformin only and with a diabetes duration less than 10 years should achieve an HbA1c ≤ 7.5% (58 mmol/mol), those with a diabetes duration above 10 years have a target ≤ 8% (64 mmol/mol).
