• Lessons learned 6
• In Tajikistan progress against many of the global diabetes targets can be effectively assessed using health examination survey data. 6
• Although effective for estimating the diabetes targets there are important limitations from using health examination surveys. 6
• A more in-depth picture of diabetes care in Tajikistan can be achieved through conducting stratified analysis and monitoring trends for the diabetes targets. 6
• Assessing improvements in the diabetes targets over time is important where targets are not currently achieved. 7
• Triangulating multiple data sources is of value to have more timely estimates of progress against the diabetes targets in Tajikistan. 7
• Using data for improvement 7
