Official title
A Comparison of Units Used for Blood Glucose and HbA1c Testing
Overview
A comparison of people's reactions to hypothetical test results using different units.
Detailed description
Comparing how people respond to hypothetical blood glucose results in mg/dl units versus mmol/L units, and also how they respond to hypothetical HbA1c results in % units versus mmol/mol units.
Interventions
- Behavioral BG mmol/L
BG presented in mmol/L (the standard presentation in Canada) - Behavioral BG mg/dl
BG presented in mg/dl - Behavioral A1c percent
HbA1c presented in percent (the standard presentation in Canada) - Behavioral A1c mmol/mol
HbA1c presented in mmol/mol
Primary outcome measures
- Opinion about result [Time frame: Immediately after the intervention]
