Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is the most important biochemical indicator of long-term glycaemic control in diabetes, but it is a relatively expensive test. Our study in a Nigerian diabetic clinic shows that only 24% of type 2 patients could afford to have the test. There is an urgent need to either reduce the cost of the test, or to provide subsidies to reduce the patient cost.
