Abstract

Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as DM, is a chronic illness that can no longer develop or be transmitted as an epidemic. The research study aims to ascertain the frequency of type 2 diabetes mellitus complications among patients attending the diabetes clinic of Azadi Teaching Hospital. Azadi Teaching Hospital Kirkuk City was conducted the cross-sectional descriptive research. Purposively sampling (non- probability) of 118 samples was done. A strong relationship was found in the current study between the length of diabetes and number of problems. Having a disease for a long period of time is linked with more hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and ischemic heart disease rates, with DM consequences being a particularly important one. More research involving more people will get more accurate results.
