Aims
Previous evidence has demonstrated that participation in the Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating (DAFNE) education programme can reduce HbA1c and severe hypoglycaemia in people with Type 1 diabetes. In a number of studies, increased HbA1c variability has been associated with higher diabetic morbidity and mortality. No studies have examined the impact of structured education on HbA1c variability...
Aim
Despite evidence of morbidity, no evidence exists on the relationship between HbA1c variability and mortality in Type 1 diabetes. We performed an observational study to investigate whether the association between HbA1c variability and mortality exists in a population of people with Type 1 diabetes. As a secondary outcome, we compared onset of first hospital admission between groups.
