The study aims to determine the psychological well–being and specific medical parameters in 30 type 2 diabetes men with foot complications and 30 type2 diabetes men without foot complications. Selection of sample included 60 men between age group 40 to 60 years. Inclusion criteria: subjects having diabetes mellitus with duration more than 1 year without other complications. The Assessment tool used was the Well–being Questionnaire by Bradley and Gamsu, 1994. Demographic data and medical parameters were recorded. Results indicated significant difference in Age, Post Prandial Blood Sugar and Waist–to–Hip–Ratio between the two groups. Men with foot complications showed significant positive correlation between age and depression, negative correlation between duration of diabetes and energy level. Men without foot complications showed significant negative correlation between HbA1C and General well being, positive correlation between age and positive well–being, positive correlation between level of anxiety and PPBS and negative correlation between age and energy level. As the level of education increased the incidence of foot complications was decreased. Highest percentage of foot complication was found among business men.50% of men with foot complications belonged to middle income group. The patients with foot complications were treated mostly with insulin whereas patients without foot complications were treated with oral hypoglycemic agents.
