The significant factor for developing CAD among diabetic patients were the long duration of the disease (p = 0.001) to be male sex (p = 0.002), poorly controlled diabetes and associated presence of hypertension (p = 0.009).

The significant predictive risk factor for CVA were poorly controlled DM (p = 0.026) and abnormal lipid profile ( p = 0.025).The significant risk factor associated with PVD was presence of dyslipidemia (p = 0.039).
