All known case of type 2 diabetes were taken. The test for proteinuria was done by qualitative method (coagulation method), using reagent 3% sulphosalicylic acid. In this techniques, 1% reagent was mixed with 3% sample of urine. Grading of proteinuria was obtained by the colour and transparency of sample. Results: The mean age of the patients were 61.74, standard deviation ±11.46 and maximum age was 90 years and minimum was 40 years. In total patients, 17.6% patients had proteinuria. In this study, female patient showed higher (10.70%) incidence of proteinuria than male (7.05%). But there was no significant relation of proteinuria with increased age.
