Abstract
We evaluated glycaemic status in 948 Black adults with HIV and report a high prevalence of dysglycaemia (37.2%). HbA1c testing identified 38 (4.0%) individuals not previously known to have diabetes mellitus (DM) and showed suboptimal or poor glycaemic control in more than half of those with a prior DM diagnosis despite high levels of HIV control.
Keywords: HIV; HbA1c; black ethnicity; diabetes.
