Abstract
Abstract: Background: Diabetes mellitus is a complex concept for a spectrum of disorders characterized by
hyperglycemia and a variety of complications, comprising metabolic and cellular disturbances that lead to vascular
complications. The objective of this project was to correlate type 2 diabetes patients to healthy controls in aspects of
hematological indices and their association with demographic data. Materials and Methods: From May to September
2016, a case-control analysis has been performed in Khartoum, Sudan. 154 participants were enrolled in this study. 104
participants were diabetic type 2 and 50 were apparently healthy as control group to find out any variations in
hematological parametersHbA1C and CBC: (Hb, WBCs & differential, RBCs& indices and PLTs, hematocrit (HCT)
among type 2 diabetic patients. Blood was gathered in EDTA containers. HbA1C measured using i-CHROMATM and
complete blood count using the Sysmex® Kx21-N hematological analyzer. Before samples collection, each participant
gave their informed consent, which had been approved by the Ministry of Health's ethical committee. The Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) SPSS version 20 was used. The meaning of the discrepancies was assessed using
the Crosstab test. p- Value is significant at P< 0.05. Results: T2DM patients had a statically significant in white blood
cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes as comparison to the control group P<0.05. There was no considerable difference in
red blood cell count, Hb, Hct, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelets count, MPV, and PDW between the two classes P>
0.05. Conclusion: T2DM patients had relatively increased levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes than
the control group (P<0.05).
