Title: Can more frequent HbA1c measurements be used to titrate diabetes medication?

Diabetes is a major and increasing health problem and maintaining good glycaemic control is crucial to good diabetes care. The recommended monitoring interval for HbA1c in type 2 diabetes is 3 to 6 months, but this is based on expert opinion. We carried out a 12-week cohort study to explore whether routine HbA1c testing intervals before 12 weeks has potential to inform diabetes medication adjustments following a medication change. HbA1c was measured at frequent time intervals in 79 patients with type 2 diabetes who had had a change in their oral diabetes medication. Results from this study will be presented and the value of measuring HbA1c at shorter time intervals in certain patients will be discussed.

Speaker:
