Abstract
There is an increase in the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and its complications worldwide as well as in India. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a mature onset disease.

The study showed that 74% of the patients had ECG changes. The age group 45-60 showed maximum abnormal ECG tracings (32/100) whereas age group 61-75 showed maximum percentage of abnormal ECG (80.46% of 36). 26% had normal ECG tracings.
