[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1216344, member: 41816"] Some types of anaemia make the HbA1c test less accurate. - doesn't mean you are non-diabetic, it just means that other tests will be necessary to give a better picture. Diabetes can be diagnosed on repeated high fasting blood glucose, on random high blood glucose tests at any time of day, and the alternative to the HbA1c (rarely used, but appropriate where HbA1c accuracy is in question) is to test Fructosamine levels.
