At least 55,000 people will need repeat blood tests after errors were discovered in machines used to diagnose Type 2 diabetes. NHS England has confirmed that up to 10% of NHS laboratories in England have been affected by the errors in the HbA1c machines used to diagnose Type 2 diabetes. The effects of this mean that some people have been wrongly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and some have been prescribed unnecessary medication.
HbA1c errors led to some people being wrongly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes
