Abstract: This study focuses on investigating the comorbidities associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), using a systematic literature review methodology to identify significant connections. The findings highlight consistent links between DM2 and cardiovascular disease, renal complications, neuropathies, retinopathies, and psychological disorders. The need for a multidisciplinary clinical approach to comprehensively address these comorbidities is underscored. The conclusion emphasizes the inherent complexity of DM2 comorbidities, advocating preventive approaches and holistic treatments to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients, despite the inherent limitations of the study. This work contributes to the understanding of the interrelationships between DM2 and its comorbidities, highlighting the importance of integrated interventions in the care of these patients.
