Introduction: Type 2 diabetes has recently escalated in all age groups and is now being seen in younger age groups, including adolescents, especially in high risk populations. Anaemia is one of the common finding in diabetes, particularly in patients with albuminuria or renal impairment. Recent studies have shown that at least 1 in 5 out patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in tertiary clinics have anaemia, in which it constitutes a significant additional burden.
