Iron-deficiency anaemia in a 68-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus was associated with a marked rise in glycosylated Hb value (from 10.7 to 15.4 g/100 ml). After treatment of the iron-deficiency anaemia, the glycosylated Hb value fell to 11.0 g/100 ml. Control of her diabetes, as assessed by other measures, appeared to be satisfactory throughout.
