The Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) is an estimate of your A1C based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. For most people with type 2 diabetes, a good GMI target is below 7%, which aligns with the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) recommended A1C goal. However, individual targets may vary based on factors such as age, overall health, and risk of hypoglycemia.
- GMI below 7%: Indicates good blood sugar control.
- GMI above 7%: Suggests room for improvement in managing blood sugar levels.
Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best GMI target for your specific situation.
