Socioeconomic deprivation, technology use, C‐peptide, smoking and other predictors of glycaemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Lower levels of deprivation, non-smoking, higher C-peptide, technology use, lower BMI and male gender were all associated with a higher likelihood of meeting HbA_1c targets. Access to proven diabetes treatments is lower in the most deprived individuals. Urgent efforts are required to provide treatments which are effective across the socioeconomic gradient.
