This study aims to determine most of the signs and symptoms which reveal Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Lattakia City and its countryside. We have studied 300 outpatients with DM admitted to the internal clinic and department at Al-Assad University Hospital. This study is restricted to DM type Π.We have found that the most frequent revealing symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus in Lattakia City and its countryside are polyuria and polydipsia; this is followed by the patient himself having blood glucose analyses done or by the doctor doing general analyses for him; this rate increases with those with a family history. We have also noticed that the rate of revealing by complications increases in patients without a family history. We have found that the rate of revealing by the recurrent genitourinary track infections is raised in females compared to males who have a higher rate of revealing through gum infections and cardiovascular complications.
