It is generally agreed that glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) testing represents the best way to monitor blood glucose levels. Yet many doctors lack the time and resources required to implement recommended guidelines on HbA1c monitoring. Consequently, patients have a lack of understanding of HbA1c testing and do not achieve target levels. Nurses have an important role to play in treating diabetes. Ev...
