Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has been shown to cause a false increase in glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c), but how much (Hgb) causes certain decrease HBA1c remains unknown. Knowledge of this ratio will enable more accurate clinical diagnosis and follow-up diabetes. This study aimed investigate whether IDA if it does, causes. 
 Material Method: One hundred twenty-two patients w...

Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the diagnostic values of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) using glucose challenge test (GCT) in screening for gestational diabetes. Materials Methods: A total 618 women at 24-28 weeks pregnancy were selected, their FBS HbA1c measured GCT. obtained results compared terms sensitivity, specificity, as well positive negativ...

BACKGROUND In persons with diabetes, chronic hyperglycemia (assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin level) is related to the development of microvascular disease; however, the relation of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to macrovascular disease is less clear. OBJECTIVE To study the association of cardiovascular events (CVE) with glycosylated haemoglobin in diabetic patients. DESIGN Case control...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by defect in insulin secretion and action resulting in hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients have deranged body metabolisms particularly for lipids which may result in abnormal levels of serum levels of lipids. Methods: The aim of this study is to find any possible correlation between the the glycosylated hemoglobin and the...

Objective: To determine the severity of fear and anxiety COVID-19 in diabetic patients to evaluate their relationship with HbA1c. Materials methods: Between December 2020 March 2021, a total 249 were included study. Demographic characteristics, duration diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values recorded. Fear related evaluated validated Turkish version COVID Scale (FCS) Coronavirus A...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the endothelial functions before and after glycemic control in type II diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS It was an open, randomized and comparative study on 30 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study was of 12 weeks spread over 5 visits. The initial visit (visit 1) is for screening of patients. Other visits (visits 2 to 5) constituted the follow up of patie...

BACKGROUND Non-enzymatic glycation increases hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and reduces oxygen delivery to tissues by altering the structure and function of hemoglobin. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether an elevated blood concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) could induce falsely high pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2) in type 2 diabetic patients during mechanical ventilation or o...
