Abstract	Purpose: To assess knowledge, attitude and practice about DM and Diabetic Retinopathy & to find out the correlation of socio-demographic and underlying risk factor of DM & DR Method: Prospective observational study by fix formed questionnaire regarding knowledge attitude and practice about DM & DR. Results: Most of the study subjects were between the age group of 56-65 years (35.4%) followed by 46-55 years (29.1%). Of the 1414 patients, 1179 (83.3%) had good knowledge of diabetes, 925 (65.4%) had positive attitude towards diabetes, while only 334 patients (23.6%) were found to have good practice patterns. In more than onefifth (21.8%) of study subjects diabetes retinopathy was present, out of these 16.6% have mild-moderate NPDR and 5.2% have severe NPDR-PDR. Conclusion: Knowledge, attitude and practice have a lot of impact in the disease like diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy since we know that diabetic retinopathy is one of most leading cause of legal blinders worldwide between 20-70yrs of age so to decrease blinders due to this disease there is a strong need of awareness programme, & screening programme for diabetic retinopathy, so that we can start appropriate treatment timely.
