GPs state a shared HbA1c goal for n = 287 patients (52.47%) and a non-shared HbA1c goal for n = 260 patients (47.53%). Patients with shared HbA1c goal show slightly lower HbA1c values (both measured and aspired) than patients with non-shared HbA1c goal (see Table 
Baseline (T0) characteristics including bivariate comparisons of the samples shared vs. non-shared HbA1c goalHbA1c glycated haemoglobin; SD standard deviation; SDM-Q-9 shared decision making (9 items scored 0–5, total score is the sum 0–45, more SDM with higher score); PACIC patient assessment of chronic illness care (11 items scored 1–5, score is the mean 1–5, better care with higher score); PAID problem areas in diabetes (20 items scored 0–4, total score is the sum multiplied by 1.25 = 0-100, more distress with higher score); EQ-5D-3 L quality of life (5 items with 3 levels, total score is the weighted EQ-5D index from low negative values to 1.0, better QoL with higher score)In addition to the metric comparison in Table
