Abstract: Diabetes is a complex, metabolic disorder marked by either relative or absolute insulin deficiency that leads to irregular and ineffective glucose metabolism resulting to hyperglycaemia which could possibly affect the blood indices in humans. Anaemia is a health problem which signifies a considerable and under recognized burden in patients with chronic diabetes. White blood cell and platelet counts are markers of inflammation and thrombotic disorders (atherothrombosis) respectively which may possibly aid assessment of microvascular and macrovascular complications in diabetes.
