Introduction: Non communicable diseases are accountable for demise of 38 million people each year with diabetes accounting 1.5 million of global deaths.India is presently facing the epidemic of diabetes with around 31.7 million cases in 2000 and likely to cross 79.4 million by 2030.The current study was conducted to assess the prevalence and risk factors of type 2 DM among population aged 35 years and above in the rural population of Mangalore.
Methods: Present study was a cross sectional study conducted in the rural population among participants aged 35 years and above.Based on the prevalence rate of 16% by Rao et al the total sample was 226.Households were interviewed by using Systematic Random sampling with estimation of RBS using glucometer.
