The mean diabetes militias duration of 7± 5.4 years and the mean age was 57±10 years, 60 % of them were males.
There was no significant correlation between microcytic anemia and microvascular complications while there
was a significant correlation between normocytic anemia and nephropathy in males and females of the study while
there was a significant correlation between the males and females of the retinopathy and normocytic anemia. The
correlation between males and females of the neuropathy with macrocytic anemia were significant while there
