- Abstract
The article discusses the challenges of screening for diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), highlighting the lack of consensus on screening methods and the potential for underdiagnosis due to factors such as the shortened erythrocyte lifespan. Topics include the prevalence of DM in patients with SCD, screening methods, and the need for improved diagnostic strategies in this population.
