We read with great interest the study by Young et al [1] on the impact of population-level HbA1c screening on reducing diabetes diagnostic delay in middle-aged adults. Based on HbA1c levels among UK Biobank participants aged 40–70 years, 1% of 166,846 participants were found to have undiagnosed diabetes. The median time to clinical diagnosis for those with undiagnosed diabetes was 2.2 years.
