Abstract	Aims: To study the cause of infections in diabetic individuals and outcome of patients in relation to mortality and morbidity. Materials And Methods: The study group comprised of 100 diabetic patients who were admitted in Dr. PSIMS & RF with history of fever between July 2014 and July 2016. Age, sex, duration of diabetes mellitus, presence of fever, associated complaints and treatment history were documented. Outcome of these was assessed based on duration of stay in hospital and other parameters like disability and mortality. Results: Soft tissue infections were most common infections (38%) followed by respiratory tract infections (28%) and genitourinary infections (20%) in our study. Staphylococci (25%) constituted the major cause of infections followed by E. coli (13%), Klebsiella (12%), and Pseudomonas (12%). There was no correlation between prevalence of various infections and glycaemic levels(p>0.5). However, their duration of stay and mortalitywas correlated with levels of glycated hemogolobin and it was found to be significantly related (p<0.0001).
