Abstract

Background: Most Diabetes Mellitus related deaths are due to increased risk of micro- and macrovascular complications of the disease. Larger platelets with higher mean platelet volume increase the propensity to thrombosis. Therefore, increased MPV is emerging as a risk factor for vascular complications.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 100 subjects with type II DM and 50 non-diabetic controls over a period of 3 months. To determine mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet count (PC) in diabetics (type2) and non-diabetics and to determine correlation of MPV and platelet count with fasting blood sugar.

Results: Significant increase in value of MPV was seen in diabetics.

Conclusion: MPV being a simple, economical test, can serve as an effective tool in monitoring the patients for thrombogenicity especially in patients with altered blood glucose metabolism.
