Background: Chronic complications or long-term side effects of diabetes mellitus include macrovascular complications, which affect larger blood vessels supplying the heart, brain, and extremities, and microvascular complications, which affect smaller blood vessels such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. In the present paper we will objectively asses the rates of different complications among diabetic patients. Methods: A prospective survey based questionnaire observational study was conducted in GMC Jammu. Purposive sampling was used to choose 100 participants with diabetes mellitus for the research. Information on present health status, clinical aspects and associated complications was collected from respondents. Patients, who presented to the medical outpatient department between November 1, 2019, and October 31, 2020, with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, were selected for the study based on the laid down inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: In the present study majority of patients presented with peripheral neuropathy, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that chronic DM is associated with multitude of complications. An increase in the prevalence of diabetes risk related factors will only make the issue worse. In order to lessen the burden of diabetes, populationbased initiatives that target the modifiable diabetes risk factors, particularly obesity and physical inactivity, are required
