Abstrakt: Background : HIV/AIDS patients present with metabolic abnormalities frequently. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic abnormality in HIV patients. HbA1c is most reliable parameter to assess the glycemia in diabetes mellitus but the accuracy of HbA1c is not appropriate. This study was performed to assess the accuracy of HbA1c in HIV patients. Methods:- In this cross sectional study we performed HbA1c test, Glucose, CD4 cell count, ART Regime, in 50 Diabetic HIV hyperglycemic subjects and compared them with 50 age matched Non HIV infected hyperglycemic diabetic subjects. Result: HbA1c underestimate the glucose up to 27±4 mg/dL in HIV infected diabetic hyperglycemic patients when compared with non HIV infected hyperglycemic diabetic patients. Conclusion: Glucose concentration was not accurately predicted by HbA1c in HIV infected subjects who were on NRTIs therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
