Prevalence and associated factors of anaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study in a tertiary care medical unit, Sri Lanka
We found that 31.3% T2DM patients in a medical ward at NHK had previously undiagnosed anaemia. Anaemia screening during diabetes diagnosis, maintaining glycaemic control and raising patient awareness can reduce anaemia prevalence, improve patient quality of life and potentially reduce microvascular complications.
