Does the Hematological Inflammatory Parameters Differ When Glycemic Control is Achieved in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Patients who were referred to the Diabetes Outpatient Clinics and had HbA1c levels equal to or greater than 10% were enrolled in this study. Detailed medical histories, comorbidities and medication usage (including both regular and new prescriptions), adherence to dietary recommendations, and occurence of recent infections were collected. Additionally, the patients' biochemical and hematological data were collected. After a three-month period, follow-up interviews with the same patients were conducted to inquire about any changes in medication usage, experienced illnesses, and hospital admissions. Based on the changes in HbA1c levels during this three-month period, the patients were divided into three equal groups. The baseline and third-month leukocyte counts, neutrophil counts, lymphocyte counts, and platelet counts for these groups were recorded. Furthermore, the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, monocytes/HDL-cholesterol ratio, and platelets/HDL ratio for each group were analyzed.
