Five millilitres whole collected into Ethylene Diamine Tetra-Acetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulated bottle, haematological parameters including PCV, HB, WBC, RBC,MCV, MCH, MCHC platelet count conducted for all Result obtained Diabetic showed mean value 34.63, 11.24, 4.41, 7.20 204.27 Hb, RBC, WBC platelets counts respectively, non-diabetic 35.04, 10.09, 3.99, 7.07 262.56 respectively.Hb concentration RBC statistically significant (p < 0.05). The Red cell indices, MCV MCHC, significant. variation compared .Low alteration red morphology indicated values among indicators thrombotic potential. Hence, routine screening should be considered proper management patients.
