Were the blood glucose parameters changed in the last few years?

The range on my lab work for fasting is 65–99.

A friend of mine who is coming to terms with being diabetic said she was told her goal is under 130, which I assumed was a diabetic goal. She said the lab glucose range was changed recently to sell more diabetes drugs.

Ranges do get changed, so she might be right, but I was curious if the actual reason for a goal of under 130 had more to do with her diagnosis. I know people with diabetes have a higher range for A1C.

She is taking Glucophage and cut back on carbs. It’s been working well. She was in the 300’s and now has been around 120 in the morning.

Any additional information is appreciated.
