Relation between Iron Status and Hemoglobin A1c in Children with Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] is the best standard for measurements of glycemic control level in type 1 diabetes mellitus, especially in children. As iron deficiency anemia is a prevalent finding in children with diabetes, it may affect HbA1c levels in those children.  Aim of the work:  To det...

Results:In our study, we divided all patients [80 diabetic children] regarding glycemic control according to HbA1c value into three levels, the first level was optimal glycemic control level [HbA1c< 7.6%], the second level was suboptimal glycemic control [HbA1c 7.6 – 9.0%] and the third level was poor glycemic control level [HbA1c> 9.0%], there was a statically highly significant increase in HbA1c value of the iron-deficient diabetic group in compared to iron sufficient diabetic group at all levels of glycemic control. Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia seems to increase HbA1c value in diabetic children Type 1, at the same degree of glycemia.Fatma El NezelyHussien Abd ElmaksoudMagdy El GhanamAl-Azhar University, Faculty of Medicine (Damietta)articlehemoglobin a1c (hba1c)iron deficiency anemiatype-1 diabetes mellitus (t1dm)Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Medical Arts, Vol 3, Iss 1, Pp 1075-1082 (2021)
