Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →Researchers want to understand whether a simple blood test measurement—called red cell distribution width (RDW)—can help predict how well blood sugar is being controlled in people with type 2 diabetes. RDW measures how different the sizes of your red blood cells are from each other. This study will compare this measurement in people with uncontrolled diabetes to healthy people without diabetes.
People with type 2 diabetes often have changes in their blood cells that may be caused by high blood sugar and oxidative stress. Researchers believe this simple blood measurement could become a useful tool to help monitor diabetes and predict complications, but they need more consistent evidence to understand how it works.

You will likely visit the research center once or a few times to have your blood drawn and answer questions about your diabetes management and medical history. The study will compare your blood test results with those from healthy volunteers who do not have diabetes. The entire process is non-invasive—just standard blood tests that your doctor may already do to monitor your diabetes.
