Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study included all patients referring to Khatam-ol-Anbia Hospital in Shoushtar from 2015 to 2016, who were enrolled by a census. The required data were extracted from patients files from 2015-2016 archives section of this hospital. 19995 files were studied. Data were then entered into SPSS software V 20. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency tables, mean, standard deviation and variance and analytical tests including Chi-square, Pierson test, T-test and ANOVA at significance level of P <0.05.Findings: Recent GI Bleeding had the prevalence of 6.5% (82 patients) and GI Bleeding history had the prevalence of 12.3% (154). No significance relationship was observed between diabetes type and recent GI Bleeding (p=0.25). Diabetes type however showed significant relationship with history of GI Bleeding (P<0.0001). Type II diabetic patients had significantly higher rates of GI Bleeding history as compared with type I diabetes.Conclusion: As some of these patients had GI Bleeding, required prevention measures should be taken about diabetes and GI Bleeding.
