[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2390623, member: 480869"] Well done on your achievements so far. I’ve just seen your comment on ferritin. I also have consistently low ferritin although standard iron tests hb (hgb) are ok ish so they refuse to call me anemic or do anything about it. Don’t think I’ve been above 11 in years. Low ferritin might effect hb1ac if hb is also low but not necessarily if it’s only ferretin. Hb1ac uses red blood cells to measure levels. Neither will effect a blood glucose test which is a direct glucose measurement. There is an alternative to hb1ac called a fructosamine but it’s usually mainly used on pregnant women. [/QUOTE]
