iabetes complications have been increasingly prevalent

among type 2 diabetics during the past decades causing

high rates of morbidity and mortality. Measures of the

prevalence of diabetes complications will lead to preventive

decisions and planning of health care. This study was

made to assess the prevalence rates of complications in

Type 2 diabetics in two Diabetes Centers in Dubai. A cross-

sectional descriptive analytical study conducted among

type 2 diabetics attending diabetes centers in Dubai. Data

was collected form secondary source using patient’s records

from two diabetes centers involved in the study. Random

sampling technique was used to collect 150 patients

proportionally allocated according to the total patients (4700

attending patients) available in the two diabetes centers.

The study showed that the most dominant prevalence type

of complications: Hyperlipidemia (84%), Neuropathy (34%),

Dyslipidemia (32%), Retinopathy (28%), Lethargy (21.3%),

and Nephropathy (16.7%). The associations made between

three variables each separately (Date of First Visit, HbA1c,

and Fasting Blood Glucose) with the prevalence type of

complications, showed significant differences in some types:

Dyslipidemia, Hyperlipidemia, Neuropathy, Retinopathy, and

Joint & Bone pain.
