What are Common Challenges Nurses Face with HbA1c Testing?
One common challenge is ensuring patient compliance with regular testing. Patients may not see the immediate benefit of regular HbA1c testing, particularly if they feel well. Nurses must emphasize the long-term benefits of monitoring and educate patients on the risks of uncontrolled diabetes. Time constraints and resource limitations can also hinder the effective management of HbA1c testing in clinical settings.
