Worldwide evidence suggests face-to-face diabetes prevention programmes are effective in preventing and delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes by encouraging behaviour change towards weight loss, healthy eating, and increased exercise. There is an absence of evidence on whether digital delivery is as effective as face-to-face.

No literature to date has established a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) cutoff for risk stratification in the urogynecology population. We sought to identify an HbA1c threshold predictive of increased risk for perioperative and postoperative complications after pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the pre-eminent factor for quantifying the risk of complications in patients with diabetes and for monitoring glycaemia.

Glycaemic status could be compared in the UKPDS and DCCT as the Bio-Rad Diamat HPLC analyser, as used in the DCCT, was introduced in 1989 for measurement of HbA1c in the UKPDS, after liaison with the DCCT.
