Abstract

India leads the world with the most number of diabetic subjects earning the dubious distinction of being termed the “Diabetes capital of the world”. Approximately half of all subjects with diabetes in the developing world remain undiagnosed and untreated leading to serious long term consequences. A cross-sectional study was done in urban field practice area of Basaveshwar Medical College among adults >20 years of age with sample size of 20. Systematic random sampling was used to select the subjects. Data was collected using standardised questionnaire which included socio-demographic profile, standard glucometer was used to measure random blood glucose for all participants. IDRS was used to ascertain the risk of developing diabetes. Data was analysed using Pearson’s Chi square test and Fischer exact. The overall prevalence of diabetes was 11%. Among 191 subjects, 4.2% were in low risk category. 42.9% and 52.8% were in moderate and high risk category respectively. Total of 8 subjects were newly diagnosed in our study. Among them 7 subjects were in the high risk category and 1 was in the low risk category. This study estimates the usefulness of simplified Indian Diabetes Risk Score for identifying high risk for diabetes in the community. It should be used routinely in community-based screening to find out high risk category of population for diabetes.

Keywords: IDRS, Risk for diabetes, Sociodemographic factors
