Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a major challenge and a clinical and public health problem in 21st century. India is the country with largest numbers of diabetic persons and has nearly 15% of global diabetic burden with about 45 million people with 10-15% in urban and 5-8% in rural area population. In India there are very scanty data on the level of awareness of people and prevalence of this disease to plan public health program. Therefore the study was conducted in this tertiary centre after approval of institutional ethical committee. Total 440 cases were included in this study from both rural and urban are who were either already diabetic or those found to have fasting blood sugar > 126 mgm% & PP > 220 mgm% were considered as diabetic. Result: Out of 440 cases (rural 277 and urban 163) 396 (90%) were non diabetic and 44 (10%) were diabetic with male 242 (rural 128 and urban 114) and females 198 (rural 149 + urban 49) with % of diabetic in rural area 5.05% and urban area 18.40%. In rural area the education status was poor as compared to urban people. The diabetic person from rural area were mainly unskilled (73.42%) compared to urban area (26.58%) BMP (Body Mass Index) in rural area in diabetic persons was normal in 85.71% while in urban area it was normal in 73.33%. Overall about 75% of nondiabetic population in urban area knew what is diabetes but in rural area only 17% were aware of it. However those who were diabetic the % of awareness was high (90% and 50% respectively). The sedentary life style with high BMI were more in urban people than that of in rural area.
