Core Tip
Core Tip: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an indicator of diabetes diagnosis and blood glucose monitoring. Therefore, the accuracy of HbA1c results is of great significance to clinical diagnosis and treatment. This case had an abnormal HbA1c result and traced back to a rare hemoglobin variant. Hemoglobin variants are one of the important factors affecting the accuracy of HbA1c results. In this case, different methods were used to detect HbA1c, which can provide reference evidence for subsequent cases and reduce false results reports.
