We've changed the way you complete courses

In response to user feedback we have simplified the way courses can be completed.

Until now you needed to complete the topics and modules in order, from start to finish. But from today you can complete them in any order you wish.

Just visit any topic that interests you, and when you are ready mark it as completed by clicking the green 'Mark complete' button at the bottom of the page.

Once you have completed all of the topics in a module an assessment will be provided for you.

Complete all the assessments to finish the course.

Thanks, I've got it! X

Let’s start from the individualisation of the HbA1c of the different cases. Now you can see the average level of HbA1c that has been identified, together with the variance in terms of the response. But what is important here is not just to see what the HbA1c level is for a given case, but just to see how different these top diabetologists’ responses are. Look, for instance, at Case number 3. Now, what you can see here is that some of these top diabetologists identified as a target a value of HbA1c as high as 8.5%, while others identified, for the same case, an HbA1c as low as 5.5%. So there is a huge range of difference in terms of identifying personalised HbA1c, which suggests that there is a lot of personal interpretation involved in evaluating the different factors that characterise these individuals.
