Core Tip
Core Tip: This review paper aims to determine the association between hematological parameters and diabetes with recent major advances, discoveries, significant gaps in the literature, current debates, and potential directions for future research. There are numerous hematological parameters, but this review article only focuses on red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells indices such as mean cellular/corpuscular volume, mean cellular/corpuscular hemoglobin, mean cellular/corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and red cell distribution width, platelet count, white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, which play a pathophysiological role in different types of diabetes mellitus.
