Diabetes mellitus is often accompanied by disturbances in haematological indices, reflecting the broader metabolic stress of chronic hyperglycaemia. This study evaluated the effect of ethanol extracts of chia seed (Salvia hispanica) and tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus), administered separately and in combination, on haem...
