Methods: This is a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in diabetes patients aged between 25-75 years of age presenting to Allied Hospital, Faisalabad.

A higher number of cases with metabolic syndrome were detected using IDF criteria as opposed to NCEP/ATP III criteria in diabetes patients.
