HbA1c – The “What, How and When” in Understanding HbA1c as a Marker and its Safe Monitoring

Description

HbA1c is considered a clinically significant marker detected through a blood test which is primarily involved in indicating type 2 diabetes management (although not exclusively). It can often be daunting to know the appropriate actions to take when this particular marker appears abnormal, especially if diabetes is not your area of expertise or scope of practice. At Clinical Rx®,  we have created a simple, step by step guide for clinical pharmacists to follow in the event of an abnormal HbA1c blood result that has not yet been actioned, the role of HbA1c in pregnancy as well as guidance on the recent GLP1-RA shortage.

This guide has been made on the basis of current NICE and CKS guidelines as well as the department of health and will be updated along with any further development on the guidance.
