Background:In addition to the surge in the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), an increase in the incidence of prediabetes among young and middle-aged adults is also documented in developing countries like India. With this fact as the background the current study was conducted in Chennai. Methods:This survey study was conducted in Aravind yoga and Naturopathyclinicpart of Chennai (N-230 adults; 32.9±9.6 years), India. Based on Capillary fasting blood glucose (CFBG) subjects were grouped into non-diabetes (n=108), prediabetes (n=92) and T2DM (n=30). Demographic data sheet (DDS) was used to assess the origin, education, socio-economic status and habit of the respondents and Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) screening form to detect the risk for T2DM. Results:Approximately half of the screened subjects were newly diagnosed with prediabetes, among which one-ninth of them were (n=9; 9.8%) identified with high risk for T2DM. Statistical assessment manifested female subjects at higher risk based on low physical activity and higher waist circumference as compared to the male. Substantially, risk identification with IDRS was in line with the expedited results of CFBG among prediabetes.
