Objective

The objective of this project is to rigorously synthesize evidence on how different HbA1c testing frequencies affect glycaemic control and long-term complications in adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The review aims to determine the most effective monitoring schedule to support improved clinical outcomes.

Methodology

This systematic review is registered with PROSPERO and follows a predefined protocol involving comprehensive searches across major databases, trial registries, and grey literature sources. Studies are screened, extracted, and assessed using standardized processes and validated risk-of-bias tools to ensure high-quality evidence informing the final synthesis.
