Abstract
Background -In India more than 50 % of people are unaware of their status which increases the risk of development of diabetes and its complication in them. Hence, it is necessary to detect the large pool of undiagnosed diabetic subjects in India and offer early therapy to these individuals. Keeping this aspect in mind, a community based cross sectional observational study with prime objective to find out the clinical profile of T2DM in gwalior city was done. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES -To findout the clinical profile of the T2DM in gwalior ,a Historical city of North india. MATERIALS AND METHODS-Gwalior is a major historical city in Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is located 319 kms from south Delhi, the capital city of entire India. As of 2011’s India census Gwalior has a population of 10,69,276 in 66 wards. Results- Face to face interview during house survey was conducted by predesigned questionnaire (schedule), on 615 subjects. Majority of participants were females. Most of the study participants were less than 35 years of age. Most of the participants were literate and majority of them being graduated and above. Most (54%) of participants belonged to middle class(class II and III) and 23.6% in lower and lower middle class. In this study 28 % study participants have BMI ≥ 25. About 93 % participants do not have family history of diabetes. In this study majority of females have waist circumference of 80-89 cm, and majority of males have <90 cm. In this present study about 47.5% of participants belonged to moderate physical activity level. In this study about 93 % participants do not have family history of diabetes. This study brought out limited association with family history of diabetes. Family history is often not correctly available. Diabetes also often remains undiagnosed. Conclusion- Chronic non-communicable diseases are assuming increasing importance among the adult population in both developed and developing countries. The life-styles and behavioral patterns of people are changing rapidly, these being favorable to the onset of chronic diseases like diabetes.The prevalence of chronic disease like diabetes is showing an upward trend in most countries. Developing countries are now warned to take appropriate steps to avoid the "epidemics" of non-communicable diseases likely to come with socio-economic and health developments. India has become the capital of diabetes. Early identification of at risk individuals and appropriate lifestyle intervention would greatly help in preventing or postponing the complications and reducing the global economic cost of diabetes.
