- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To Detect Peripheral Vascular Disease in asymptomatic diabetic patients using Ankle Brachial Pressure IndexTimepoint: The Ankle Brachial Pressure Index will be measured at the time of first contact with the patient in the OPD or ward, i.e. at Baseline only, which will take approximately 15-20 minutes. There will be no follow up of the patient.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To determine prevalence of PVD among Asymptomatic Diabetic PatientsTimepoint: After the sample size is reached in 18 months , prevalence of PVD among the diabetic patient will be calculated.
