Diabetes and Anaemia: A Myth or Reality

Chronic diabetes develops when the pancreas does not release enough insulin or the body cannot use it. Anemia is a disorder characterized by reduced hemoglobin or red blood cells. The body needs hemoglobin to transport oxygen. Diabetics with anemia may have micro and macro vascular problems, lowerin...

Description
Summary:Chronic diabetes develops when the pancreas does not release enough insulin or the body cannot use it. Anemia is a disorder characterized by reduced hemoglobin or red blood cells. The body needs hemoglobin to transport oxygen. Diabetics with anemia may have micro and macro vascular problems, lowering quality of life and increasing medical costs. To examine the prevalence of anemia among type 2 diabetics, its predictive value, and the connection between anemia and type 2 diabetes. A prospective study was conducted on 2000 people with and without type 2 diabetes at the medical and diabetology wards of Punjab's Desh Bhagat University and hospital for medicine and health sciences from June 2022 to June 2023. A statistical significance threshold of 0.005 determined that the mean hemoglobin value was 8.44 in oral hypoglycemics, 7.93 in insulin, and 4.45 in combined insulin and oral hypoglycaemics. Diabetics with type 2 diabetes mellitus and anemia were more likely to have CAD, making anemia a chronic condition that negatively impacts quality of life and accelerates disease consequences.
