The disease of diabetes mellitus type-2 has been characterized as long-term metabolic disorder with high blood sugar level, insulin resistance, and insufficient amount of insulin. The most common clinical symptoms are increased hunger and thirst, feeling tired, frequent urination and excessive weight loss.

Its prevalence has risen exponentially around the globe in the last few decades. The most common complication arise with time in diabetic patients are hypertension, retinopathy, neuropathy, Obesity, diabetic foots and nephropathy. In the current study the reported cases of diabetic mellitus type-2, at Mardan Medical Complex (MMC), were observed for the development of the aforementioned complications. In the study period of two months, March and April 2016, 163 patients suffering from diabetes Mellitus type-2 disease (including 89 female patients and 74 male patients) visited MMC were included for assessment. The most common and highly developed complication found in around 72% diabetic patients was hypertension. The other complications found were retinopathy in around 65%, diabetic foot in around 20%, and neuropathy in around 18% and nephropathy in around 12% patients suffering from diabetes Mellitus type-2 disease.
