Patients with diabetes may not be aware of their condition and therefore may not seek timely care. In this pilot study, patients presenting to the emergency department at risk of type 2 diabetes were flagged by the electronic health record. Clinicians could then add hemoglobin A_1c (HbA_1c) to scheduled blood draws. Of the patients with elevated HbA_1c levels contacted by study staff, three-quarters were not aware of a previous diabetes diagnosis.
