Only half of the 61 cases reporting elevated HbA1C levels at screening experienced their PCP's as responding with counseling or medication changes. Almost a third of cases perceived that their PCP's dismissed the results, making no recommendations, and the rest perceived no counseling or interventions being proposed. Based on subjects' perceptions of their PCP's responses to their elevated HbA1c values, the impact of this intervention is substantially reduced over expectations.
