Although HbA1c goal is below 7 in general, some studies showed that aiming this target among elderly can cause more harm than good, mainly because of increased risk of sugar drop (hypoglycemia). This is why some physicians rightfully are satisfied with a level between 7 and 8 among their elderly patients.
