- Lowering HbA1C to below or around 7% has been shown to reduce micro-vascular complications of diabetes and, if implemented soon after the diagnosis of diabetes, is associated with long-term reduction in macro-vascular disease. Therefore, a reasonable HbA1C goal for many nonpregnant adults is
All targets are important. I think diabetes is not a disease to treat a particular target. Because it is a metabolic disorder. The current level of allopathy treatment is a temporary solution. We need the components which act on most of the targets. it is possible with our traditional way of treatment. We have lots of medicinal plants with proper proportion (polyherbal) to cure diabetes. Each and every medicinal plants of the polyherbal will take care of most of the targets (i.e. Antioxidants, Insulin mimic effect, Insulin secretory effect, PPAR agonist, glucosidase & amylase inhibition, etc).
In the diabetes type II associate to the obesity, in my opinion, the best objective marker is the weigth.
If you loss kilos, the insulinoresistance go in down, the hemoglobin glycated go to the normal range, the lipidic profile go to normal numbers, etc.
All that is possible when you make a treatment with "protein diet": VLCD but not animal protein; minerals and vitamin supplied and , too, protein with high biological value at 1,2-1,5 g / kg ideal/ day supplied.
In my opnion: the objective is a go to the normal weigth.
