| Abstract: • In order to assess the prevalence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy, 105 type 2 diabetic patients aged (52 ± 7.8) years, 54 males and 51 females were investigated. • Prevalence of ischemic heart disease in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropath was 58.75 % • Hypertension highly effects the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy (P < 0.001) while smoking, blood group and Rh system not effect the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy (P > 0.05). • Impotence significantly (P < 0.05) and IHD have highly significantly (P < 0.001) association with diabetic peripheral neuropathy while overt proteinurea, serum creatinine and retinopathy do not have any association with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. | ||
