This included hemoglobin and their changes in relation to age variation, type of diabetes mellitus and duration of pregnancy.

Overall reticuocyte count in the diabetic pregnant women showed that reticulocyte count 1.08% ±0.31. The study showed that, there was normal reticulocyte count in diabetic pregnant women.
