To analyse the associated complications of Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes mellitus in two tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar. A comparative cross sectional observational study was conducted at Khyber teaching hospital and Lady Reading hospital, Peshawar from January 2004 to February 2005. A total of 532 diagnosed patients of diabetes mellitus who had developed further complications were included. Patients were interviewed according to a pre-designed questionnaire. Out of 532 patients, 437 [82.1%] were Type-2 diabetics and 95 [17.9%] were Type-1 diabetics. Two hundred and seventy eight [52.25%] were females and 254 [47.74%] were males. Two hundred and seventy six [60.33%] patients had more than 10 years of duration of diabetes. The common complications in type-2 diabetics were coronary artery disease [CAD] in 268 [49.81%] cases, cerebrovascular accidents in 61 [11.46%] cases and diabetic ulcers in 59 [11.09%] cases. In type-1 diabetics, common complications were cardiovascular diseases in 38 [7.14%] cases, surgical ulcers in 16 [3%] cases, neuropathies in 15 [2.81%] cases and nephropathy in 9 [1.69%] cases.
