Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD 🩺

The Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) is an estimate of your A1C level based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. For most people with diabetes, a good GMI target is less than 7%, which aligns with the general A1C goal for diabetes management. However, your specific target may vary depending on factors such as:

  • Age: Older adults may have slightly higher targets.
  • Health conditions: Other medical conditions may influence your target.
  • Risk of hypoglycemia: If you are at risk of low blood sugar, your doctor may set a higher target.

Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best GMI goal for your individual situation.
