Objective:Microvascular complications are seen to have been associated with diabetes type 2 cases. We carried out this study over subjects with newly diagnosed type II diabetes.Purpose was to find and report risk factors associated with microvascular complications and to identify the clinical and biologicalcharacteristic changes associated.

Methods:  164 subjects were taken into the study (all having newly detected diabetes type 2).Standard evaluation tests in details were carried out over all the subjects to detect diabetic retinopathy (fundus examination), neuropathy (siemms monofilament test), and nephropathy (microalbuminuria).

Results: The occurrence of a  microvascular complication of any form was 34.7%.Diabetic retinopathy ,diabetic nephropathy and neuropathy were prevalent in 5.5%, 11.6% and 12.8% cases respectively. The risk factors for developing any form of microvascular complication were increasing age , increasing systolic blood pressure and increasing hemoglobin. The risk factors for DR and diabetic nephropathy were increasing systolic blood pressure ,for  diabetic nephropathy and increasing hemoglobinfor retinopathy; Increasing age was the only risk factor for diabetic neuropathy. The risk factors for multiple microvascular complications (combination of any two) included  poor glycemic control .

Conclusions: 34.7% of the subjects had some form of microvascular complication; while the main risk factors correlated with diabetic microvascular complications were growing age,hypertension ,poor glycemic control and increased hemoglobin
