Treat-to-target approach

The treat-to-target approach is a medical strategy where healthcare providers set specific goals for managing a condition, such as controlling blood sugar levels in diabetes. The goal is clearly defined and measurable, like maintaining blood pressure within a certain range. Doctors then adjust treatments—medications, lifestyle changes, or other interventions—to achieve and maintain this target. Regular monitoring ensures progress toward the goal, helping to prevent complications and improve overall health. This method promotes proactive, personalized care focused on clear outcomes rather than just managing symptoms.
