Popis: Background and Aims: Anemia impairs glucose homeostasis, affects glycemic control, and predisposes to complications in diabetics. It correlates with oxidative stress and increases the risk of developing microvascular and macrovascular complications. However, it is an underrecognized comorbidity in diabetics. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of anemia in diabetic patients and compare the metabolic profiles of anemic and non-anemic diabetics. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted among type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients, at the outpatient clinic. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), known hematological disorders, and chronic inflammatory disorders were excluded. Results: Of the 97 patients, 37 (38.14%) were found to be anemic (hemoglobin (Hb): male
