Comparison of HBA1c Goals Proposed by an Algorithm To Those Set By Different Members of Healthcare Teams Within the Dartmouth Hitchcock Health System.

Objective: An individualized approach is recommended by guidelines when establishing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) goals. Setting a goal requires experience and awareness; it is time consuming and not always trivial. A previous study proposed an algorithm for assessing the recommended HbA1c target according to individual patient characteristics.
