Glycaemic control is harder to achieve than blood pressure or lipid control in Irish adults with type 1 diabetes

We sought to determine the attainment of targets for glycaemic control and vascular risk reduction in an Irish cohort of T1DM adults. Of 797 patients (53% male, mean age 40.3 ± 14.8 years, HbA1c 8.5 ± 1.6% (69.6 ± 17.8 mmol mol−1)), 15%, 68% and 62% achieved targets for HbA1c, blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, respectively.
