a nonsignificant trendP = 0.36
There appeared to be a nonsignificant trend toward ESA leading to a further decrease in A1C following the initial fall due to iron (mean A1C 7.3–6.9%, P = 0.36 following iron and 6.9–6.7%, P = 0.13 following ESA).

A proportion of patients in our study had both therapies, and though there was a similar trend of combined lowering of A1C in this group, this failed to reach statistical significance.
