Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analytical study. It was undertaken in the Department of Medicine of the parent institute Dr D.Y Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pimpri, Pune, during the period of October 2020 to September 2022 with the aim to evaluate the role of utility of Red Blood Cell count, Red Cell Distribution Width, and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio as prognostic markers in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with and without microvascular complications.
A total of 300 patients were included in the study- 150 cases, with microvascular complications, and 150 controls, without microvascular complications.
Results: It was evident from the results that majority of patients were in the 51- 60 age group (29%) followed by 61-70years (25%) and 71-80years of age (20%).
