چکیده
Aims The aim of this study was to determine the proportion patients who had fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) blood tests done on admission an older people's inpatient ward at Kingfisher Court, Hertfordshire. Patients undergo a physical health assessment when they are admitted ward. This consists examination, electrocardiogram panel tests, which include HbA1c. Given that people with severe mental illness have greater burden conditions, such as diabetes, can aid in optimising patients’ reducing inequality. Methods A sample 40 were most recently discharged from included audit. Four authors each independently reviewed 10 patient case notes results. An audit collection tool produced data logged for patient. collected by all authors. Results 57.5% (23) population HBA1c level or glucose. individual diet-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus 55 mmol/mol subsequently started metformin. Only 15% (6) test admission. Their did not specify whether these fasted random tests. 42.5% (17) either done. Conclusion There poor overall compliance trust protocol Plasma rarely it specified thus limiting their utility. team therefore suggest be removed focus should obtaining HbA1c test.

A subtype of glycohaemoglobin, haemoglobin (Hb) A(1c), in specimens of whole blood was assayed on a new automated analyser that makes use of high-pressure liquid chromatography. The analyser provided precise and reproducible values. The mean of the HbA(1c) values was lower than that with an older instrument. The mean tended to increase with the age of the subjects, who were undergoing routine h...
