Hand fingerprints were taken by Indian ink method. The Parameters such as arches, whorls, loops were studied. Fingerprint tip patterns are not same in Diabetics and controls. Result: Out of 100 Diabetic Mellitus type II patient’s when compared frequency of Whorls was significantly increased in both hands of males and females around 67 %,whereas Loop with 26% and Arches least with 5%. Conclusion: The dermatoglyphic study revealed that majority of the patients were belonging to Whorl pattern of finger prints followed by patients belonging to Loop pattern and the least patterns were Arch.
