AIMS: Platelet activity and aggregation potential, which are essential components of
thrombogenesis and atherosclerosis, can be conveniently estimated by measuring mean
platelet volume (MPV) as part of whole blood count. It has been shown that MPV was
significantly higher in diabetes mellitus (DM); however, the effect of glycemic control on MPV
has not been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among MPV,
glycemic control, and micro-and macrovascular complications in type 2 DM. METHODS …
