Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), measured regularly in the patients with diabetes, is the major form of stable glycated hemoglobin and has to be maintained below 6.5% to prevent or decrease the risk of chronic complications. HbA1c reflects mean blood glucose levels of the previous 3 months. ⋯ All hemolytic disorders can be responsible for falsely reassuring HbA1c values. Clinicians must be aware that hematologic status has to be considered for the correct interpretation of HbA1c results.
