Background and Objective: Much of the research has shown the link of various blood groups with different ailments. It has also been assumed that those blood groups are genetic determinants of different diseases, like diabetes.The objective of this study was to find an association between blood group and Type II diabetes (T2DM).
Design: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which diagnosed diabetic patients having blood sugar fasting (BSF) greater than 125mg/dl were enrolled. We determined their blood groups by the tube method.
Place and duration: The study was conducted at blood bank and medical wards (indoor and outdoor) of Gulab Devi hospital Lahore for a period of six months i-e June 2021 to December 2021.
Methods: A structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic and clinical data from the patients. Their blood samples were drawn and the blood grouping was determined by tube method by the researcher herself. The data was evaluated using IBM SPSS21 statistical software.
Results and conclusion: The current study found no link between T2DM and ABO blood groups but shows the highest occurence of blood group B and the least prevalence of AB-blood group in the study population.
