Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus and glucose intolerance are the most common life-threatening disorders with high morbidity and mortality rate. Diabetes rates vary greatly around the world. Pakistan has the highest diabetes rate at 30.8%, followed by Kuwait at 24.9%, and Nauru, New Caledonia, and the Northern Mariana Islands, all at 23.4%. In general population, people are not much aware about these conditions and hazards of these clinical manifestations, this phenomenon tends to increase the frequency of type II diabetes mellitus and glucose intolerance. The present study was conducted to find out the prevalence of Diabetes mellitus in District Haripur, KPK, and Pakistan. The study was based on secondary data of 500 patients which was collected randomly from Yahya Hospital in Haripur, Pakistan. The data was classified for prevalence into month-wise, gender-wise, age-wise and random sugar level. The overall prevalence of Diabetes in our study population was 5%, in which females had higher prevalence of DM (69%) as compared to males (31%). The age-wise prevalence of DM was also seen more in females than their male counterparts which was non-significant (<0.05). The present study revealed that the prevalence of DM increases with age. In the targeted population of below than 20 years, the prevalence of diabetes increased with age from 20-65 yearsalong with sugar level with respect to month was highly significant (<0.05). It has been concluded through this study that due to increasing rate of diabetes mellitus, special attention is required to given the role of diabetic awareness programs, community-based screening campaigns, and different educational health programs in reducing health problems caused by diabetes, which in the long run will help to reduce the burden and prevalence of this disease.
