Aim: This study was done with the aim to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic PVD among Type 2 diabetes patients, so that by early recognition of PVD, related complications can be limited&#13;
Material and Method: Our study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, S.P. Medical College and Associated group of hospitals, Bikaner. A total of 108 type-2 DM cases who visited medical outdoor and those admitted in PBM hospital were selected for study after obtaining proper informed consent&#13;
Result and Conclusion: Prevalence of asymptomatic PVD (ABI __ampersandsignlt; 0.9) is about 12% in our study. Thus a significant proportion of type 2 diabetic subjects are affected by PVD, and hence due importance to be given for active screening annually specially by ABI and prevention and management of complication among type 2 diabetes patients.&#13;
