NSComparisonResult result = [currentdate compare: duedate];
if( result == NSOrderedDescending || result==NSOrderedSame) {
    // true when the dates are the same or the currentdate is later
} else {
   // true when the currentdate is earlier
}

this comparesa two dates and tells if there is the difference of 24 hrs in two dates, timeIntervalSinceDate:lastLoadDate sends the seconds difference. 

double interval = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSinceDate:lastLoadDate];
    if (interval > 86400 || interval < -86400 ) {
        return YES;   
    }
    else
    {
        enableButtons = YES;
        return NO;

    }

in your case it will be

double interval = [dueDate timeIntervalSinceDate:currentDate];

if (interva >=0)
{   
    DateLable.text=@"Due";
    DateLable.textColor=[UIColor redColor];
}
else
{
    DateLable.text=duedate;
    DateLable.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
}
