NICE currently recommends an HbA1c of ≤ 7.5 per cent. For
the period 2009-2010, the following results (from the National Diabetes Audit) were
achieved in England.
HbA1c % of
Registered Type 1 Diabetics
>7.5 71.8
>10.0 17.0
These results are very similar to those found in the
2006-2007, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 audits. I don’t believe anyone seeing these
results would state that they represent satisfactory outcomes with almost 72%
of registered diabetics having out of control blood glucose levels and many must be crying out for help! Surely there
must be some ‘in control’ Type 1 diabetics willing to spend some time to advise
and help their fellow Type 1 diabetics. Two individuals immediately spring to
mind with seemingly the time to commit to forum posts. It would be nice to read
Phoenix and Noblehead of diabetes.co.uk making some contribution to reducing
the awful statistics for Type 1 diabetics.

ReplyDeleteWould you know the stats for type II diabetics?
ReplyDeletePercentage of registered Type 1patients in England
ReplyDeleteHbA1c >= 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) = 92.6%
HbA1c > 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) = 71.3%
HbA1c > 10.0% (86 mmol/mol) = 18.1%
Percentage of registered Type 2 patients in England
HbA1c >= 6.5% (48 mmol/mol = 72.5%
HbA1c > 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) = 32.6%
HbA1c >10.0% (86 mmol/mol) = 6.8%
These results are very similar to those obtained in previous audit over the past 5 -6 years.
