Elevated White Blood Cell Count is Associated with Higher Hemoglobin A1C in Diabetic Patients from Bangladesh

Diabetes mellitus is becoming a health burden worldwide due to an increase
in obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

Elevated white blood cell count has been documented
with increased risk of glucose metabolic disturbance in
middle-aged and elderly Chinese people.

Glycated hemoglobin A1c reflects average plasma glucose over the previous
eight to twelve weeks and used as an object to evaluate glycemic control.

Taking all these into consideration, we aimed to explore the association of
WBC with HbA1c and other risk factors for diabetes.

This study was carried out among T2D patients of Bangladesh to
investigate the different pathological status of patients suffering
from T2DM.

During the interview in person, the interviewers translated the questionnaire
from English to Bengali to make the questions easily understandable to the respondents.

Interviewers have clarified any doubts that participants had and explained
the symptoms and medical term in their familiar names and terms.

The interview lasted 45-60-minutes and included a range of questions about
age, ender, occupation, education, and living status of participants.

One study shows that more than two-thirds of the study population had low-levels
of stable HbA1c, and one-fifth had stable levels of HbA1c, but moderately high-levels.

Compared to those with a higher-level of HbA1c, participants with low stable HbA1c
had a significantly shorter diabetes duration, the level of glycemic control may
well be adequate for these patients, and does not appear to confer additional risk for adverse outcomes.
