What causes high Mean plasma glucose and low RBC?

High Mean plasma glucose and low RBC can be caused by many reasons.

If your Mean plasma glucose is in between 70 mg/dL and 116 mg/dL and your RBC is in between 4.5 mil/uL and 5.5 mil/uL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Mean plasma glucose and RBC respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually. The longer you have diabetes the higher the risk of complications. Eventually, diabetes complications may be disabling or even life-threatening. Possible complications include:

• Kidney damage
• Eye damage
• Foot damage
• Alzheimer's disease
• Heart and blood vessel disease
