Echocardiography and Doppler ultrasound were performed to evaluate left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and peripheral atherosclerosis disease (PAD). Renal and cardiovascular survival rates were compared between the DN and NDRD groups by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Risk factors for renal and cardiovascular events in DN patients were identified by a Cox proportional hazards model. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In total, 179 patients entered the DN group (54.9%) and 147 made up the NDRD group (45.1%). The presence of diabetic retinopathy, family history of diabetes, and dependence on insulin therapy were associated with the presence of DN. DN patients had more CVD with more severe LVH and PAD. Poorer renal (log-rank χ<sup>2</sup> = 26.534, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and cardiovascular (log-rank χ<sup>2</sup> = 16.257, <i>p</i> < 0.001) prognoses were seen in the DN group. DR (HR 1.539, 95% CI 1.332–1.842), eGFR (HR 0.943, 95% CI 0.919–0.961), and 24-h proteinuria (HR 1.211, 95% CI 1.132–1.387) were identified as risk factors for renal endpoints. Age (HR 1.672, 95% CI 1.487–1.821), HbA1C (HR 1.398, 95% CI 1.197–1.876), and 24-h proteinuria (HR 1.453, 95% CI 1.289–1.672) were associated with cardiovascular endpoints. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Patients with DN had more severe CVD along with poorer renal and cardiovascular prognoses than those with NDRD.
