title: Age of diabetes diagnosis and diabetes duration associate with glycated haemoglobin.
abstract: An earlier age of diagnosis (r=-0.28, p<0.0001) and longer duration of type 2 diabetes (r=0.26, p<0.0001) were each found to correlate with higher HbA1c level, on analysis of a diabetes centre database in people under regular shared care. When combined, these biological variables strongly associate with the current HbA1c level.
