A one point drop in HbA1C reduces risk of developing diabetes-related complications by 40%. Since 1997, NTHS diabetes patients dropped HbA1C average from 8.37% to 6.9% Seventy-nine (79%) of Heart Savers participants have an HbA1C of 8%. Six (6) patients (7%) of 87 Heart Savers have an A1c >10% vs. Seventy (70) 9% of the overall NTHS Diabetes Registry. Perspective
What does the data show us? • Patients that receive intensive education and clinical case management tend to have: • More controlled A1c, Lipids. • More patients have annual exams completed. • Less patients continue to use tobacco. • Risk for developing complications from diabetes is significantly reduced. Intensive case management
