NCT ID NCT07463612

First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This observational study aims to understand if different types of anemia (like iron deficiency or thalassemia) cause HbA1c levels to be falsely high or low in non-diabetic adults. Researchers will compare HbA1c results between 100 anemic participants and a non-anemic control group. The findings could help doctors avoid misdiagnosing diabetes based on HbA1c tests in people with anemia.
