Heald, A., Holland, D., Duff, C. J., Scargill, J., Hanna, F., & Fryer, A. (2022, November). Health Inequality and its link to HbA1c Test Recovery in a Developed Health Economy: In a 'Nearly Post COVID-19' World. Poster presented at Society for Endocrinology BES 2022, Harrogate, United Kingdom

Background: We previously showed that in first 6 months of the UK Covid-19(C19) pandemic >6.6million HbA1c tests were missed, including 1.4million in people with diabetes(DM). Furthermore, C19 more significantly impacts people with DM / socioeconomic...

Speed of recovery of testing for management of diabetes in the aftermath of COVID-19 is slower in areas of greater social deprivation: findings from a UK study (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Holland, D., Heald, A., Hanna, F., Wu, P., & Fry, A. (2022, September). Speed of recovery of testing for management of diabetes in the aftermath of COVID-19 is slower in areas of greater social deprivation: findings from a UK study. Poster presented at 58 th EASD Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, Stockholm, Sweden

Background and aims: We have previously shown that, during the first 6 months of the UK COVID-19-associated lockdown, >6.6M HbA1c tests were missed/delayed, including 1.41M missed/delayed in people with diabetes (0.51M in those with suboptimal contro...

Variability in Test Interval Is Linked to Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Trajectory over Time (2022)

Fryer, A. A., Holland, D., Stedman, M., Duff, C. J., Green, L., Scargill, J., …Heald, A. H. (2022). Variability in Test Interval Is Linked to Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Trajectory over Time. Journal of Diabetes Research, 2022, 1 - 11. https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/7093707

Aims. We previously showed that the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) testing frequency links to diabetes control. Here, we examine the effect of variability in test interval, adjusted for the frequency, on change in HbA1c (delta HbA1c). Materials & Metho...

Variability in test interval is linked to glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) trajectory over time in people with diabetes (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Fryer, A., Holland, D., Stedman, M., Duff, C., Green, L., Scargill, J., …Heald, A. (2022, March). Variability in test interval is linked to glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) trajectory over time in people with diabetes. Poster presented at Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2022, Hybrid/Online

Introduction: Frequency of HbA1c testing links to outcome in terms of HbA1c control in diabetes. The influence of the variability of test-retest interval on HbA1c change needs to be determined.

Methods: HbA1c results were collected from laboratory... Read More about Variability in test interval is linked to glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) trajectory over time in people with diabetes.
