[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2650884, member: 480869"] Perhaps you could share what CLL is and maybe we could If you are anemic it can affect the hba1c reading and make the test unreliable. The test measure glycation (sugar damage) to red blood cells over their lifetime (assumed to be 12weeks ish). If for some reason your red blood cells are not typical, as in anaemia or things like sickle cells and other rbc conditions , then the test uses fall over. In this case a test called fructosamine is more accurate. It’s also commonly used in pregnancy, when levels change quickly with a growing baby, as the time frame measured is shorter [/QUOTE]
