This hospital-based study demonstrates a statistically significant higher prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency among the Saudi patients with diabetes mellitus (12.4%) as compared to healthy population controls (2.0%) (p less than 0.008). The nature of this association is difficult to explain. In view of a higher frequency of G6PD deficiency among diabetics, it is suggested that all patients with diabetes be screened for this enzymopathy in order to avoid the use of certain drugs or toxic agents that can produce hemolysis.
这项基于医院的研究表明，沙特糖尿病患者中葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶（G6PD）缺乏症的患病率（12.4%）在统计学上显著高于健康人群对照组（2.0%）（p小于0.008）。这种关联的性质难以解释。鉴于糖尿病患者中G6PD缺乏症的发生率较高，建议对所有糖尿病患者进行这种酶病的筛查，以避免使用某些可导致溶血的药物或毒性物质。
