Hi Cugila,
I did think about about the source of the stats. They come in the introduction. Its not clear but I don't think that they can come from the survey itself... which only included people judged by their doctors as having poor control. I think they come from the papers referenced in the text. I certainly wouldn't want to claim them as being definitive.
added, this is silly I've got to make dinner or we won't get any!
but I found this from 2006

apparently data presented at a DUK conferenceTwo thirds of people with Type 2 diabetes in the UK are above recommended clinical targets. 9 Furthermore, findings from an audit presented at the Diabetes UK Annual Conference in March showed average HbA1c levels were 7.84%, 7.44% and 7.86% in England , Wales , and Scotland respectively. 10
