Comparing self-reported personal and provider glycemic goals from older adults with type 1 diabetes
In this survey study of 346 older adults with type 1 diabetes, many reported hemoglobin A1c goals of < 7%, consistent with early/middle adulthood targets, but not necessarily older adulthood. Participants reported stricter targets than their providers, reflecting the complexity of modifying glycemic goals in practice.
