Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Pre-diabetes (comprise of IFG and IGT) is the state that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. The terms IFG and IGT refer to an intermediate metabolic stage between normal glucose and diabetes. The cross-sectional study was carried out in various locations of Telangana. The Researcher followed American Diabetic Association (ADA) criteria for defining the IFG and IGT. 1650 eligible subjects were selected for the study. Laboratory Investigations were done on subjects related to Fasting blood glucose and 2 h after Blood Glucose. Anthropometric Measurements also done to know BMI and Waist/Hip Ratio (WHR) on subjects. The data was analyzed by using Chi square test using SAS version 8.2.Demographic background and baseline data was presented descriptively. All continuous variables like height, weight and laboratory data was represented by mean +SD (Standard Deviation). Overall prevalence rate of IFG in Telangana state is around 2.75% and IGT is around 6.11%.The data proves that BMI and WHR are highly significant statistically in IFG population. The result proves that IFG population is more prone to develop obesity. This data proves that BMI and WHR is highly significant statistically in IGT population. It is true that IGT population is more prone to develop obesity. Pre diabetes can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes by through changes to their lifestyle that include modest weight loss, regular exercise and proper diet.
