Diabetes Status among Adults in Rural India: Rural Noncommunicable Disease Clinic Observation

Abstract Backround: Diabetes mellitus represents a widespread global health trouble. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for 60% of all fatalities in India, with diabetes representing 3% of these cases. India has launched the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Disease (NP-NCD) under the framework of the National Health Mission (NHM). Aim: This study was undertaken to see the number of people over 30 years old with more than 200mg/dl random blood sugar level. Methodology: The methodology employed in this study focused on evaluating diabetic levels in adults residing in a small region of rural Newai, Rajasthan, India, through a quantitative lens. A descriptive study was carried out in Newai, Rajasthan, India, to evaluate diabetic levels among adults during non-communicable disease clinics.A total of 67 adults aged over 30 years were included, with 62 samples available for analysis. The investigation employed socio-demographic data alongside a blood sugar assessment instrument utilizing the Dr. Morepen BG-03 Gluco One Glucometer. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, adhering to a significance threshold of P <0.05. Ethical considerations encompassed obtaining written permission, ensuring informed consent, maintaining confidentiality, and providing health education for the entire sample. The study was conducted during a training clinic focused on non-communicable diseases for community health officers. Result: A total of 62 individuals were involved, with an average age of 54.5 years. According to the investigation, 2% of participants had random blood sugar levels above 200 mg/dl, whereas 98% of individuals had random blood sugar levels below 200 mg/dl. The average blood sugar level, calculated at a 95% confidence interval, was 112.0806 ±6.186 (110.54-113.62).The entire sample received health education, encompassing individuals at risk of developing diabetes. Conclusion: this study found that random blood sugar levels exceeding 200mg/dl are infrequent in the rural Newai area of Rajasthan, India, suggesting a low risk of diabetes among adults over 30 years of age.
