The parameters are constantly changing... concerning blood levels.
Basically new research is showing a racial difference in A1C and also elderly needs a slightly high blood glucose too.
A paper somewhere here about the cautions about keeping the blood levels not really low for aging patients, is probably going to take over the parameters we have now.
One severe low glucose event is enough to set Alzheimer's in action in the older patients. So going too aggressively on the low side may not be for everyone.
This is an easy to read explanation of that complex article (which I gave my own doctor).

I think we will see new parameters constantly about this problem, as the boomers age.
