Methods: It was a comparative; cross sectional survey in it 1,168 patients were selected from Medical and Endocrinology out-patient departments of Jinnah hospital, Lahore and a Periphery Diabetic using non-probability purposive sampling. Patients with Duration of Type 2 Diabetics more than or equals to 2 years, both male and female aged above or equal to 40 years were selected in the study. In Group A, type 2 diabetic patients taking Pioglitazones for ≥2yearswere selected and in group B type 2 Diabetic patients taking oral hypo-glycaemic or insulin were selected. The ethical committee of Allama-Iqbal Medical College, Lahore, approved this study. Results: Five hundred & eighty-four patients of Group A and 584 Patients of group B were selected in the study. In group A, 321 (54.97%) were male and 263 (45.03%) were female, whereas in group B 317 (54.28%) were male and 267 (45.72%) were female. Mean age of the group A patients was 47.01±8.27 years and mean age of group B patients was 58.97±8.14years. In group A mean duration of diabetes was 8.65±3.72 years and in group B the mean duration of diabetes was 10.86±4.48 years. Mean duration of Pioglitazone use was 6.92±2.28 years. Overall none of the patient was reported with the bladder cancer in the study. Conclusions: It is concluded from the study that none of the patient from either group was reported with bladder cancer haematuria and UTI. It is suggested that a randomized control trials should be conducted to single out the association of bladder cancer in patients with type II diabetes.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Pioglitazone; Bladder cancer; Pakistan
