Background: The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus is growing rapidly worldwide and is reaching epidemic proportions. Globally around 366 million people have Diabetes in 2011 and by 2030 this will have risen to 552 million.

Results and Observations: 277 (67.5%) of subjects were in moderate risk IDRS category while 72 (17.5%) were in low risk and only 61 (14.9%) were in high risk IDRS category. Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus was highest in high risk IDRS category (47.5%) followed by moderate risk (9.3%) and low risk (2.8%) IDRS category. Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus was highest in high risk IDRS category (47.5%) followed by moderate risk (9.2%) and low risk (2.8%) IDRS category. The sensitivity of IDRS was 81.40% in the present study and a high specificity of 72.0%. Present study also showed a Positive Predictive value of IDRS as 31.7% and a Diagnostic accuracy of 73.3%.
