We studied the hematological profile of diabetic male patients to know the type of anemia along with the presence of other hematological abnormalities which is often missed clinically. Objectives: To study the peripheral smear and hematological parameters of type 2 diabetic male patients and to correlate it with disease stage.

ADA (American Diabetic Association) criteria was used to select subjects. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 18 and Chi square test at p-value of 0.05 and 0.001.
