Aim: We aimed to investigate the effects of diabetes treatment modalities on haematological parameters and leukocyte formula in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Materials and Methods: The study included 102 patients with type 2 diabetes, out of which 51 receiving insulin treatment and 51 receiving oral antidiabetics (OAD). Hemogram data of insulin and OAD treated groups were compared.Results HbA1c levels were 11.12 ± 2.09 mg/dl in insulin group and 7.94 ± 2.1 mg/dl in OAD group p=0.001. Platelet counts were 27866.67 ± 77693 109/L before treatment and 258941.18 ± 69068.2 109/L in OAD group at six months, p: 0.015 whereas; 293011.76 ± 73711.21 109/L before treatment and 289492.86 ± 82631.49 109/L in insulin group at six months p: 0.821. Monocyte counts were 0.47 ± 0.12 109/L before the treatment and 0.57 ± 0.12 109/L in mix insulin therapy subgroup at six months, p:0.004; monocyte percentage was % 6.11 ± 1.74 before the treatment and %7.51 ± 2.57 in mix insulin subgroup at six months p:0.039; Basophiles counts were 0.1 ± 0.02 109/L before treatment and 0.09 ± 0.04 109/L in intensive insulin therapy subgroup at six months, p: 0.005; Lymphocyte and basophils counts were significantly decreased at six months insulin treatment as compared to the pretreatment values.Conclusion: This study showed that, glucose control effects; blood indices HbA1C, basophiles, eosinophils, platelets and lymphocytes counts
