This study aims to investigate how different types of anemia affect glycated hemoglobin levels in patients.
Included 40 patients with iron deficiency anemia, 40 with vitamin B12 deficiency, 18 with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and 40 in the control group.
Measured hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, fasting plasma glucose, and HbA1c values.
Compared the data for each anemia type with the control group.
Patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) had significantly lower hemoglobin compared to controls (P<0.0001).
HbA1c was significantly higher in IDA and megaloblastic anemia compared to controls (P<0.0001 for both).
HbA1c levels were significantly lower in autoimmune hemolytic anemia compared to controls (P<0.0001).
