Mismatch between ADA and AGS recommendations for glycated hemoglobin targets for older adults

Ilker Tasci et al. Prim Care Diabetes. 2018 Apr.

In recent years, modified glycemic targets have been defined for older adults with diabetes mellitus. In a sample of elderly patients, we have identified several inconsistencies between the real life applicability of glycated hemoglobin goals recommended by the American Diabetes Association and the American Geriatrics Society.
