Methodology: This was cross sectional study carried out during March 2017 to November 2017 at Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. In this study the cases of age 30 to 70 years of both genders suffering from DM of any duration of time were included. The cases with type I DM, or those having end stage renal, liver failure or electrolyte imbalance were excluded from this study. Diastolic dysfunction was defined on the basis of Echo where E/A ratio was <0.8. Results: In the present study, 100 cases of DM were included and out of these 67 (67%) were males and the mean age of the study subjects was 57.41±10.12 years. Diastolic dysfunction was seen in 55 (55%) of the cases and there was no significant difference in terms of gender with p value of 0.87. DD was significantly high in cases that had raised BMI where it was seen in 28 (68.29%) of cases with p value of 0.03. Diastolic dysfunction was also significantly high in cases that had duration of DM more than 5 years affecting 46 (63.88%) of cases with p= 0.02. Conclusion: Diastolic dysfunction is common in cases of DM and it is significantly high in cases that had raised BMI and duration of DM more than 5 years. Key words: Diastolic dysfunction, DM, BMI.
