Glycemic Control Benchmarks

Meaning

Glycemic Control Benchmarks are a set of quantitative, clinical targets used to evaluate the efficacy of metabolic interventions and the overall stability of an individual’s blood glucose regulation. These benchmarks extend beyond standard fasting glucose measurements to include metrics like postprandial glucose excursions, time-in-range as measured by continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and long-term indicators such as Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Achieving these established benchmarks is crucial for mitigating the systemic damage associated with chronic hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. These data points provide an objective measure of metabolic health.
