Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent risk factor for peripheral vascular disease, involving narrowed peripheral arteries due to atherosclerosis. Further research is necessary locally and internationally to address inconclusive findings and insufficient data. Conducting a thorough study can provide critical insights for identifying and managing asymptomatic peripheral vascular disease (PVD) cases, ultimately reducing associated morbidity. Methodology: This study at Allama Iqbal Memorial Teaching Hospital aimed to determine PVD frequency in type 2 diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia. Conducted from July 2024 to January 2025, 163 participants were enrolled. Initial blood samples were taken, followed by patient reports of fasting glucose and lipid profiles. PVD diagnosis used ABPI via Doppler. Data were analyzed using SPSS v25 with stratification for age, gender, diabetes duration, and BMI. Chi-square test post-stratification with p ≤ 0.05 was used for statistical significance. Results: In this study, 163 diabetes mellitus patients with hyperlipidemia were enrolled. Age range in this study was from 30 to 65 years with mean age of 51.54±10.403 years. Frequency of peripheral vascular disease in diabetes mellitus patients with hyperlipidemia was observed in 45(27.6%). Conclusion: Study findings revealed a high occurrence of peripheral vascular disease in diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia, with the ankle-brachial index using Doppler proving reliable for detecting this condition in diabetics.
