Abstract: The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has increased in recent decades. This study was designed to determine the occurrence of retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, as well as their interdependence in newly diagnosed diabetic patients. In this study, 200 consecutive newly diagnosed patients were evaluated, and screening tests for retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia were undertaken. The frequency of positive screening tests for hyperlipidemia, hypertension, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy was found to be 73.5%, 58.5%, 52%, 10%, and 6%, respectively. A significant proportion of newly diagnosed diabetic patients exhibit signs of these chronic complications.
