Memory of last HbA1c. The recollection of the last measured HbA1c values was assessed by comparing the objective HbA1c values 3 months ago with the patient’s recollection of this HbA1c. The gap between the last measured and remembered HbA1c value was then compared to the actual HbA1c. Data are shown as boxplots with the actual HbA1c in categorized form on the x-axis. Note that there is a tendency towards wrong positive memory of the last HbA1c in patients having an HbA1c > 8.5% (p = 0.069). Data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.
