Semi structured interview schedule and Record analysis was used for data collection. The study findings based on descriptive and inferential statistical revealed that 62% falls in only diabetic group and the remaining 38% in the diabetic with micro vascular complication group where only retinopathy 18%, only nephropathy 11%, retinopathy and nephropathy both 9%. Chi square findings revealed that there were significant associations between the microvascular complications of diabetic patients and work habits (4.44) at df (1)/<0.05 level.
Chi square findings also revealed that there were significant associations between the microvascular complications of diabetic patients and alcohol habits (4.40) at df (1)/<0.05 level.
