The Claim
In non-diabetic pregnant women, there is no significant correlation between HbA1c levels and red blood cell indices including MCV, MCH, RDW, and MPV, suggesting that these hematological parameters do not meaningfully influence HbA1c values in this population.
What the research says
Challenges is higher
Challenge is ahead, but a single strong supporting study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In pregnant women who don’t have diabetes, things like red blood cell size and volume don’t seem to affect their HbA1c blood test results in any meaningful way.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Glycated hemoglobin and red blood cell indices in non-diabetic pregnant women
The study looked at blood markers in pregnant women without diabetes and found that HbA1c was linked to one of the red blood cell measures (MCHC), which goes against the claim that none of these measures affect HbA1c.
