Establishing glycemic targets is the first step in treatment of both types of diabetes. For type 1 diabetes:
1. Tight control/intensive therapy can be given to adults who are willing to test their blood glucose at least twice daily.
2. Tight control is acceptable for older adults if they are without complications.
3. Plasma glucose levels are the same for children as adults.
4. Conventional therapy has a fasting plasma glucose target between 120 and 150 mg/dl.
