OBJECTIVES:  The study was designed to assess the proportion of CVD among type 2 DM patients, to assess the risk factors for developing CVD among type 2 DM patients and to assess the CVD risk factor for the next 10 years by using JBS3 scale. METHODS:  A hospital-based study was carried out at St. Philomena’s hospital. Subjects were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and the data collected were pooled and analyzed. RESULTS: Among 106 patients’ recruited 72 patients were diabetics and 34 patients were Non-diabetics. Majority was in the age group of 51-60 years in both the groups. The BMI value was found to be abnormal in diabetic patients. Majority of the DM patients had HTN than the Non-DM group. It was also observed that the prevalence of CVD was higher among the DM patients than Non-DM patients. Hypothyroidism was found to be a common co-morbidity among both the groups. It was found that there were elevated biochemistry values and abnormal ECG and ECHO readings in DM patients than Non-DM patients. By using JBS3 scale, it was found that DM patients had more risk for developing CVD than Non-DM patients. CONCLUSIONS:  The study was concluded that type 2 DM patients were more prone to develop CVD than the Non-Diabetics.
