Our aim in this study was to determine the distribution of glycated hemoglobin (A1C) in the Ontario diabetes population and identify subgroups with a high risk of poor glycemic control. ⋯ The mean A1C among people with diabetes in Ontario was 7.2%, but nearly 20% had an A1C of >8%. There were notable disparities in glycemic control that identified several high-risk groups, including younger people, people with longer disease duration and people living in remote areas. Better clinical and policy approaches are needed to improve diabetes care for these populations.
