Abstract：Objective To evaluate the relationship between the red blood cell distribution width ( RDW) and fasting blood sugar/blood pressure.Methods Collecting 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from October , 2013 to June, 2014 in the hospital as the diabetes group;and 100 patients who were not type 2 diabetes mellitus were regarded as the control group .Colleting patients′blood detection on boold routine examination and measuring blood press under sitting position .Results The mean fasting blood sugar level was (95.20 ±30. 10) mg/dL in the control group, and (147.85 ±72.54) mg/dL in the diabetics.The mean blood pressures for diabetics was 138/90 mm-Hg and for non-diabetics 120/80 mmHg.The mean RDW-SD (RDW standard deviation) was (46.44 ±4.64)fL in the control group, and (46.84 ±3.18)fL in the diabetes group.The mean RDW -CV (RDW coefficient of variation) was (14.74 ±1.94)% in control group, and (14.80 ±0.71)% in diabetes group.No statistically significant correlation was found between the RDW -SD and fasting blood sugar/blood pressure in the diabetes group .A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the RDW -CV and blood pres-sure and blood sugar in the diabetics .Conclusion A positive correlation between the RDW -CV and blood pressure was established in the diabetics in the study .
