PSA regarding the Atlantic article about iron deficiency: Low ferritin, even before you become anemic, can cause falsely elevated A1C. So before you freak out about about a blood sugar result that doesn’t make sense to you, ask your provider to run a CBC, iron panel, and ferritin test.
Speaking from experience, most primary care docs don’t know this relationship, so many of the perimenopausal women with heavy and/or frequent periods getting diagnosed with type 2 diabetes/prediabetes might actually be iron deficient.
