Abstract

Diabetes mellitus and sickle cell anemia are both complex and chronic conditions that pose significant challenges to healthcare providers and individuals alike. The coexistence of these two conditions, known as sickle cell trait-related diabetes (SCTD), presents a unique set of clinical considerations and management challenges. The coexistence of diabetes and sickle cell anemia introduces a dynamic interplay between two complex medical conditions. Individuals with sickle cell trait (SCT) may face an elevated risk of developing diabetes. The management of diabetes in the context of sickle cell anemia presents unique challenges. Recognizing the heterogeneity within the SCTD population, personalized medicine approaches are crucial. Both diabetes and sickle cell anemia predispose individuals to a spectrum of complications. Lifestyle modifications play a pivotal role in the management of diabetes and sickle cell anemia. The convergence of diabetes and sickle cell anemia necessitates an integrated care model that involves multidisciplinary collaboration.
