Core Tip	This editorial discusses the role of platelet indices (PI) such as platelet count, mean platelet volume, plateletcrit, platelet large cell ratio, and platelet distribution width as potential predictors of poor glucoregulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Emerging evidence shows that elevated PI levels correlate with inadequate glucoregulation and microvascular complications. Incorporating PI into routine assessments may offer a cost-effective tool for predicting glycemic outcomes in patients with T2DM, especially in resource-limited settings.
