Abstract

Adult Aged Biological Markers Blood Glucose Diabetes Mellitus Female Health Behavior Health Knowledge Attitudes Practice Hemoglobin A Glycosylated Humans Male Middle Aged Predictive Value of Tests Questionnaires Self Care Self Efficacy Socioeconomic Factors Time Factors
Research demonstrates that patients have a poor understanding of glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and that this impacts on effective diabetes self-management. This study attempted to replicate these findings in a UK outpatient sample of people with diabetes.
