Introduction: Diabetes  is  one  of  the  most  important  problems in  all  countries.  This  study  is  designed  to  determine  the  prevalence  of  diabetes  or  glucose  intolerance  in  central  areas  of  Iran.
Materials  and Methods: In  a  descriptive  study  in  Arak, Isfahan  and  Najafabad  cities, 12514  samples  over  19  years  old  were  selected  by  a  multistage  random  sampling  method. FBs  and  GTT  were  done. 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. This  was also  increased  in  women  of  urban  areas against  women  in  rural  parts.  It  was  also found  that glucose  intolerance, known  diabetes  and  newly  diagnosed  diabetes  was  increased  by  age. More  than  half  of  diabetes  cases  in  all  age  groups  were  newly  diagnosed. Blood  pressure, age, BMI  and  abdominal  obesity  were  higher  in  diabetics  and  those  with  glucose  intolerance. These  problems  were  more  incident  in  women.
Conclusion: Regarding  to  the  fact  that  diabetes  is  one  of  the  major  risk  factors  for  noncommunitable  disease  and  also  its  relative  high  incidence  in  central  areas  of Iran, it  is  necessary  to  have  expanded  programs  for  prevention  and  treatment  diabetes  family  history.
