DN may compromise balance during daily activities. Patients with DN have a fivefold increased risk of falling and the consequences include decline in mobility, activity avoidance, institutionalization and mortality. Aims and Objectives: the aim of the study to analysis of balance dysfunction and fall risk in diabetic patients. Material and method: An observational study was conducted in Dr.VitthalraoVikhePatil Memorial Hospital, Ahmednagar. Also door-to-door patients were taken with type 2 DM in Bhingar. Camps were also held at Vadgoan Gupta &GulmoharRoad,Ahmednagar.

Result:According to our study which was done on 80 patients with daibetes with age group 40-50 and 51-60.we found out that there is extreamely significant result which shows patients with diabetic neuropathy had high risk of fall and balance impairment as compared to non neuropathic patients. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is higher chances of balance dysfunction and fall risk in diabetic neuropathy amongst diabetic people in Ahmednagar City and more and more awareness is necessary to reduce the chances of disability due to diabetic neuropathy.
