Increased red blood cell count can lower blood sugar

A recent study led by the Medical University of Vienna shows that the haematocrit value, i.e. the proportion of red blood cells in blood volume, has a direct influence on blood sugar levels. The researchers were able to show that an increase in the number of red blood cells directly causes a decrease in blood sugar. The results, which have been published in the journal "Science Advances", could help to find new ways of treating diabetes mellitus.
