[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 706789, member: 22572"] "DIABETES: FACTS AND STATSPART FOUR: DIABETES CARE Only 20.8% of all people with diabetes are achieving the targets recommended to reduce their risk of developing diabetes complications.In Type 1 diabetes this is only 11.8% and 21.5% in Type 2, so despite many people being tested for blood pressure, cholesterol and HbA1c, relatively few are then achieving the targets they should. Achieving target: - HbA1c below 6.5%: 6,5% of type 1 and 26.2% of type 2s - Cholesterol below 4mmol/l: 29.7% of t1s and 41.3% of t2s - BP below 140/80: 57.9% of t1s and 47.3% of type 2s These figures have not changed significantly over the last three years."
