The frequency of chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes at the time of diagnosis was screened and their association with risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, blood hypertension, obesity, dislipidemia and related biochemical factors were evaluated. During three months, 24 cases aged 30-70 years were studied by the Diabetology and Nutrition Service, Cardiology and Retina Services of "Dr Pedro Lagleyze" Municipal Ophthalmology Hospital in Buenos Aires. Metabolic, peripheral vascular and neurologic profiles, microalbuminuria, fundus oculi, blood pressure and obesity were studied. It was proved that average age was 50 years. Findings: neuropathy, 5 (25 %); nephropathy, 3(12.5 %); retinopathy, 6(25 %);cardiopathy and peripheral vascular disease,13(54 %); blood hypertension,13(54 %); obesity,3(12.5 %); hypercholesterolemia, 14(58 %); high LDLc, 12(50 %);low HDLc, 10(41.6 %); high blood viscosity, 6(25%);high glycosylated hemoglobin, 18(75%); hypertriglyceridemia, 7(29.7%). It was found that all the patients had risk factors linked to diabetes. It was deemed necessary to promote public education on diabetes, screen associated factors, and aggressively and precociously treat hyperglycemia and added biochemical factors
