Can the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) predict the development and control levels of type 2 diabetes mellitus?
PLR may serve as an inexpensive and accessible biomarker for predicting type 2 diabetes development and glycemic control.
As an inexpensive and easy to use index, PLR may be useful in predicting the development and control levels of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, its correlation with HbA1c needs to be validated by larger prospective studies.
Tel et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
