Abstract              Background: Rapid epidemiological transition in India with increased urbanization and westernization has contributed substantial rise in diabetes. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of disease, characterized by a state of chronic hyperglycemia resulting from a diversity of etiologies, environment and genetic action jointly. These diversities of DM, mandate us to study its clinical and investigative profile. Objective. To study clinic-investigative profiles of newly diagnosed type II diabetes patients. Material and Methods: Newly diagnosed 100 type II diabetes patients were studied in present cross sectional study. Simple random sampling method used to select the participants. Results: Out of 100 majority of patients were in the age group of 51-60 years and gender distribution found to be somewhat similar. Most common symptoms were found to be polyuria (24%) followed by tingling and numbness (18%). Fasting and post prandial sugar and HBA1C level found to be statistical significant among diabetic microvascular and non microvascular complication groups. Conclusion: Adults should be screen earliest to diagnose diabetes and to prevent its complications.
