Erythrocyte deformability (Vrbc) and plasma fibrinogen values were studied in 44 Nigerian diabetics and 41 age-matched controls, some of whom were hypertensives. All had normal hemoglobin genotype (HbAA). Vrbc was significantly reduced in the diabetic patients compared to the control group (p less than 0.005). Similarly, the Vrbc in hypertensive diabetics was significantly reduced below that in both...
