Keywords:
HbA1c, Hb D Iran, HPLC, Capillary ElectrophoresisAbstract
Diabetes and hemoglobinopathy can co-exist, but the extent of diagnosis of such co-existence may depend on choosing the appropriate diagnostic methodology. This case report emphasizes the importance of such methods like HPLC and capillary electrophoresis in diagnosing these disorders.
