Prevalence of Nutritional Anaemia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Absence of Renal Impairment
The study shows that anemia is common in people with type 2 diabetes, especially if their blood sugar is not well controlled or as they get older. It highlights the need for regular blood tests to check for anemia in diabetes patients, especially older ones. The study recommends adding iron supplements, balanced diets, and vitamins to treatment plans. These steps can help manage both diabetes and anemia better, leading to improved patient care and outcomes.
