A Study to Correlate Anemia with Hba1c Levels in Euglycemic Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Abstract: Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and anemia are both prevalent in India. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of DM and monitoring of glycemic status. Hemoglobin (Hb) being the integral component of HbA1c, there is a possibility that anemia can also affect the level of HbA1c apart from the various other factors. Objectives: To study the prevalence, type of anemia, and correlation between HbA1c and anemia, including red blood cell (RBC) indices in euglycemic type 2 DM patients. The study was conducted with the objective of studying the correlation between HbA1c and anemia in euglycemic diabetic patients having controlled blood glucose over a period of 3 months. Methodology: This cross - sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital of Uttar Pradesh. All euglycemic diabetic patients with controlled blood glucose over a period of 3 months attending the outpatient department and fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Inclusion criteria: All euglycemic type 2 DM patients with controlled blood glucose having three consecutive normal blood glucose levels [fasting blood sugar (FBS) ?80?130 mg/dL and postprandial blood sugar (PP2BS) test?
