The American College of Physicians (ACP) has issued a guidance statement on the optimal hemoglobin A1c targets for patients with type 2 diabetes. The statement is published in the September 18 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
This link to Medscape provides further information. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/562889?src=mp&spon=17&uac=77668PZ
It is stated that A1c to a greater extent should be targeted individually , specially for elderly people.
You might relate this guidelines to your national guidelines and discuss how to discuss it with e.g GPs.
Maybe you could contribute to this discussion by adding information on how you handle questions about A1c in the pharmacies in your country.
