This study determined awareness and perception on prevalence of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus among diabetic patients admitted at Bugando medical centre in 2014. 

A total of 245 files of the patients were included in the study. The awareness towards risk factors was 95 (75.2%) and towards chronic complications of diabetes mellitus was 77 (64.2%)

Therefore health education to the patients about the risk factors to develop chronic complication is the foremost strategy toward raising the awareness.
