Lipid tests were also done in fasting. weight, height and blood pressure of samples were measured by standard methods. FBs>-126 or 2 hoursglucose >-200 was considered diabetes. Fasting glucose disturbance was considered with FBS <126 and glucose intolerance with 2 hours glucose >-140-200. Data was analyzed by SPSS software, t test, chi square and Fisher test.
Results: Of 12514 samples under investigation 51.1% were female. The overall diabetes incidence in urban and rural areas was 6.7% and 5.3% and in male and female 5.4% and 7.1% respectively .Mean of blood glucose was increased by age in both sexes.
