title: [Clinico-therapeutic findings on diabetic complications in thalassemia].
abstract: We describe 6 patients with thalassaemia major who developed diabetes. Etiopathogenesis, poor metabolic control, previous transfusion and chelation regimens are discussed. Antiaggregant therapy with A.S.A. and Dipiridamole may play a role in these patients for preventing thrombotic risk.
