Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global epidemic affecting 8.3 % of the global population and 371 million people worldwide with a significant proportion (50 %) were remaining undiagnosed. It is estimated that almost one in six people are currently at risk of developing diabetes-related complications. The cardiac autonomic neuropathy is one among the early complications of diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of CAN varies from 1 % to 90 % in patients with type 1 diabetes and from 20 % to 73 % in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is estimated that almost one in six people are currently at risk of developing diabetes-related complications. The aim of the study was to assess the cardiac autonomic neuropathy among adult with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A quantitative approach, case control design was used. By using purposive sampling technique 50 samples in case group and 50 samples in control group were selected. Structured interview schedule and EWINGs criteria was used as tool for this study. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study reveal that mean age of adults in case group (45.9 5.69 years) whereas the mean age in control group (38.8 2.41 years). The majority off the adults in case group (58 %) were male and 42 % of adults were female whereas (68 %) of adults were male and 32 % of adults were female in control group. In case group 40 % of adults having severe CAN, 34 % of adults having early CAN, 24 % of adults were normal and 2 % of adults having definite CAN whereas in control group majority of adults (94 %) were normal and only (6 %) of adults having early CAN. Mann Whitney U test was followed to compare the factors of CAN and it reveals that R-R interval (Z= 6.956), 3015 ratio (Z= 7.021), BP response to standing (Z= 5.882) and BP response to sustained handgrip (Z= 6.880) statistically significant at p
