Abstract

Aim: We aimed to compare platelet counts (Plt), plateletcrit (PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW) values of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients with those of healthy subjects.Methods: The records of 39 T1DM patients who were hospitalized between January 2016 and May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Control group consisted age and body mass index matched nondiabetic patients.Subjects having history of cardiovascular disease or any other systemic disease were excluded.Results: Compared to control group Plt (270±63 vs. 215±35 k/mm 3 ), PCT (0.217±0.057 vs. 0.168±0.034%) and PDW [17.4(16.2-20.4) vs. 17(12.5-19.4)%] were significantly higher in T1DM patients.Conclusion: Platelet indices which are common, simple and inexpensive hemogram parameters are increased T1DM patients.
