AB  - OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of overweight and obesity 
      among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Uganda. DESIGN: Retrospective 
      chart review. SETTING: This study was conducted in the outpatient's T2DM clinic 
      in St. Francis Hospital-Nsambya, Uganda between March and May 2017. PARTICIPANTS: 
      Type 2 diabetes patients registered in the diabetes clinic between July 2003 and 
      September 2016. OUTCOME MEASURES: Overweight and obesity defined as body mass 
      index (kg/m(2)) of 25.0-29.9 and obesity as 30.0 or higher. RESULTS: Of 1275 T2DM 
      patients, the median age was 54 (IQR: 44-65) years, 770 (60.40%) were females, 
      887 (69.6%) had hypertension, 385 (28%) had controlled glycaemia, 349 (27%) were 
      obese, while 455 (36%) were overweight. Overweight/obesity were lower among men 
      (OR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.340 to 0.593, p</=0.001) and among patients aged >/=65 years 
      (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.350 to 0.770, p=0.001); patients who rarely ate fruits and 
      vegetables (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.475 to 0.921, p=0.014) but higher among patients 
      of middle (OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.320 to 2.550, p</=0.001) and upper (OR: 2.10, 
      95% CI: 1.450 to 2.990, p</=0.001) socioeconomic status; on dual therapy (OR: 2.17, 
      95% CI: 1.024 to 4.604, p=0.043); with peripheral neuropathy (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 
      1.039 to 1.834, p=0.026) and hypertension (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.264 to 2.293, 
      p</=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Overweight and obesity are high among T2DM patients in 
      this population and may contribute significantly to poor outcomes of T2DM. 
      Therefore, strategies to address this problem are urgently needed.
