Why is it important?
Knowledge of HbA1c may not be the motivating factor for engagement in self-care. Many care practices assume that HbA1c is key in motivation for self care. People with low health literacy and numeracy may need other means of motivating factors.
Perspectives
Raise awareness of health related factors that are important to patients and be aware that these may not be identiocal to those that create an interest in health professionals
