Previous studies have shown that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The mechanisms underlying increased anisocytosis in patients with T2D and confirmed ASCVD remain poorly understood.
