Abstract

Background: Changes in serum ferritin or iron stores may be associated with abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT). Objective: To see serum ferritin and HbA1c in newly detected prediabetes and diabetes. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study over 200 participants categorized by American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2013 criteria were measured for serum ferritin by using N Latex ferritin and HbA1c by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: AGT had significantly higher age (41.43±1.16 vs. 34.65±1.26, mean ±SEM; p

Keywords: Ferritin; Diabetes-Prediabetes; HbA1c.
