Anemia in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2

People with type 2 diabetes mellitus carry the risk of anemia as a result of malnutrition associated with nutrient absorption. In patients with diabetes, anemia is often not recognized because it does not belong to the mandatory procedures for monitoring diabetes.The aim of the paper was to collect and analyze data indicating an association between lifestyle, diabetes and anemia.Diagnosed anemia ranges from 20 –30% in people with diabetes. Anemia is estimated to remain undiagnosed in 5 –10% of people. It often occurs in patients with diabetic nephropathy that results in low hemoglobin levels. The hemoglobin concentration is closely related to the diabetic profile, especially to the kidney damage. In addition, some types of medicines that can be used in the treatment of diabetes, such as metformin, may reduce cyanocobalamin utilization and iron bioavailability. In addition to metabolic syndrome, microalbuminuria and anemia can often occur. Supplementation with vitamins and iron preparations reduces the possible consequences of the disease.There are claims with diabetes not to cause anemia directly but indirectly to participate in its development. Therefore anemia testing should be performed in patients with diabetes.
