Validation and effect on diabetes control of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) point-of-care testing.

CONCLUSIONS: The Quo-Test HbA1c POCT had good correlation with standard laboratory methods in respect of both glycaemic control and price. Patients who had POCT at baseline showed a significant improvement in glycaemic control at 3 months. HbA1c POCT in the setting of a multifaceted approach to diabetes care has been shown to have definite benefits. PMID: 30834862 [PubMed - in process]
