We observed elevated HbA1c among anemic people with MCV <80 fL or MCV 80-90 fL, and decreased HbA1c among anemic people with MCV >90 fL, suggesting that different types of anemia might influence HbA1c differently. In addition, non-anemic people with lower hemoglobin levels had higher HbA1c levels, suggesting that hemoglobin levels are in need of consideration when interpreting HbA1c values among non-anemic people.
