Abstract

HbA1c has already been one of the standard diagnostic criteria for diabetes and pre-diabetes.However,disorders of iron metabolism could affect glucose metabolism through various pathways,and influence HbA1c level directly or indirectly.So under certain circumstances,it may affect the diagnosis of glucose metabolic status.Here we reviewed researches about the interference of iron metabolism disorders on HbA1c.
