Background  There is increasing awareness about the association of restless legs syndrome (RLS) with type 2 diabetes. This study assessed RLS and its associations among patients with diabetes.  Material and methods  This case-control study was conducted among 160 subjects (82 patients with diabetes and 78 controls) attending a diabetic clinic in Omdurman, Sudan, during the period from June 2018 to September 2019. A structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic factors, diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and macrovascular complications. The neck circumference was measured to assess adiposity, and a blood sample was taken for the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1 c ) estimation. The local ethical committee approved the research, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) was used for data analysis. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant.  Results  There were 82 patients with type 2 diabetes and 78 controls matched for age and sex. Restless legs syndrome was higher among patients with diabetes (31.7% vs. 10.3%%) with a significant statistical difference, P-<0.05. A direct positive relationship was found between restless legs syndrome and diabetic neuropathy (Wald=5.48, P-value=0.019, 95%CI 1.70-410.76), no relationship was found between RLS, diabetic retinopathy, glycated hemoglobin, sex, and neck circumference, P-values (0.757, 0.804, 0.317, and 0.361 respectively).  Conclusion  Restless legs syndrome was prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes and was more common among patients with diabetic neuropathy, no relationship was found between restless legs syndrome, age, sex, neck circumference, HbA1 c , and retinopathy
