Abstract

Aim of the study: To apprehend the incidence of pre-diabetes and high risk for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among adults of Bengaluru, South-India.

Materials and method: Six week’s house hold sector based survey (N=307; 23-70 years), was conducted in City armed reserve police quarters, Chamrajpet, Bengaluru, Mysore road. Fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were checked using Hemocue 201+ blood glucose monitor device. In addition, body weight and body mass index were assessed. Categorization of screened subjects based on the risk for T2DM was done using Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) screening form. Of a total 1250 residents, almost one-fourth of them (n-307) had taken part in the survey.

Results: Study resulted in identifying people with normal glucose tolerance or non-diabetes (n=178), impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes (n=75), and T2DM (n=49) and newly diagnosed diabetes (n=5). Although, among the screened, the incidence of pre-diabetes was accounted for 24%, with one-half (n=37, 49%) of them found at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Age and gender matched data obtained from the screening postulated higher body mass index (BMI) (p<0.001) and waist circumference (p<0.001) as most contributing factors increasing the incidence of high risk for T2DM among the study population.

Conclusion: This survey manifested a higher incidence of pre-diabetes and high risk for T2DM among the study population, which is linked to the anthropometric measures.
