Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) with its microand macrocomplications is the leading global epidemic of the 21st century. The aim of the research is to determine possible changes in the complete blood count (CBC) parameters depending on glycemic controlin patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: The study included a total of 178 patients with T2DM, both gender over the age of 40 years, from the Health Care Center "Dr Milorad Mika Pavlovic" Indjija, Serbia. To notice the possible correlation between the CBC parameters and glucose control in T2DM, the subjects were divided in two groups with HbA1c < 7% and with HbA1c>7%. We analysed CBC parameters, parameters of glycoregulation, lipid status using standard biochemical methods, performed anthropometric measurements and collected patients data by questionnaire and electronic patient card. Results: There was statistical difference between HbA1c groups for PMDW (p=0.045), HDL (p=0.0067). Using univariate linear regression it is shown that PCT was correlated with WBC (p=0.0005), neutrophils (p=0.046), monocytes (p=0.003); MPM was associated with MPV (p=0.0005); MPC (p=0.0005), PDW (P=0.0005), GLU0 (p=0.034), HDL-C (p=0.005); PMDW was correlated with HbA1c% (p=0.049), GLU0 (p=0.013), HDL-C (p=0.001), BW (p=0.043) in all patients. Conclusions: Based on our study results it may be concluded that some of the parameters of CBC could be useful tool in following glycemic control of diabetics.
