This study examined gut fungi and haematological parameters in 20 patients with varying blood glucose levels separated into diabetic (≥7.0 mmol/L, n=9), pre-diabetic (5.6-6.9 mmol/L, n=8), and normal (3.9-5.5 mmol/L, n=3) groups. Fungal species and haematological parameters were analyzed using molec...
