[QUOTE="smidge, post: 493113, member: 29301"] I had anaemia when I was first diagnosed. Had to take iron tablets. Anaemia can give a falsely low HbA1c reading so you need to make sure that is taken into account at your review. There is another test they can do to make sure your BG control is good and they should offer you that rather than the HbA1c while your red cell count is low. Sorry but I can't remember what the alternative test is called. Smidge [/QUOTE]
