Glucose control (HbA1c)
85.8 per cent of records from people with Type 1 diabetes and 91.0 per cent of people with Type 2 diabetes included an HbA1c measurement.
The NICE recommended HbA1c of = 7.5 per cent (59mmol/mol) target was achieved in 66.5 per cent of the measurements from people with Type 2 diabetes but only 28.2 per cent of the measurements from people with Type 1 diabetes.
Thus, overall 37.0 per cent of people with diabetes are at high risk of future complications due to glucose control above recommended levels.
Furthermore, 17.0 per cent of people with Type 1 diabetes and 6.7 per cent of people with Type 2 diabetes have very high risk glucose control (HbA1c of >10 per cent, 86mmol/mol).
These overall results are very similar to those found in the 2006-2007, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 audits.
Similar to previous years. The % of both type 1 and 2 not attaining a HbA1c <10% is truly shocking.

At first sight the statistics are shocking,........ then you look away count to 10 and re-read. Yes the care and support in many areas is lacking, but why?. Well this site is prime evidence in part. We generally don`t do what they say we should !!. More to the point nor will i. That point arose because i found that what they were telling us is rubbish.
ReplyDeleteTo that end i am one of those who wont/ dont do what they are told.
To which the HCP will say "Well you can tell them but you cant make them", so why bother! !.
You can eat Soy and GM foods and be considered healthy but drop / lower the carbs and its unhealthy ? ?
Theres lies ....... damned lies and Statistics
There are also those that simply will not take responsibility for themselves or their care.
