Diabetics suffer from many complications including a prothrombotic condition. Activated platelet membrane provides an anchor, phosphatidylserine, for the attachment of the prothrombinase complex, which allows increased thrombin formation. This study aimed to further elucidate the interrelationship between coagulation proteins and activated platelets in type 2 diabetic blood. We found that there vas a significant increase (30x) in thrombin activity in the type 2 diabetic (ZDF) blood as compared to age-matched (ZL) controls (p
