Notes:
Summary ADP-induced platelet aggregation was measured in 15 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients, 15 Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients and in 15 non-diabetic control subjects. Simultaneous measurements were made of fasting blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, serum insulin, total plasma cholesterol, cholesterol in the lipoprotein subfractions, total triglycerides and platelet phospholipid fatty acid levels. Regression analysis of aggregation against the biochemical variables within the three groups revealed that there was no significant difference in the associations with aggregation between the groups. When the data was pooled, blood glucose (p〈0.01) and glycosylated haemoglobin (p〈0.05) demonstrated significant associations with aggregation. Multiple regression analysis was then applied; only blood glucose (p〈0.05) had an independent effect on aggregation. Platelet aggregation in diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients appears to be related directly only to blood glucose levels.
