The participants of the study were classified into two categories depending upon their blood glucose and three categories each depending upon their BMI and blood pressure. The data was analyzed by dividing the participant into five different age group and the diabetes and pre-diabetes prevalence was assessed in these different age group including their gender difference. Results: from 325 patients 171 diagnosed with Pre-diabetes with highest ratio among 30-40 years. 154 patients suffering from diabetes with most of the patients of 60 to 64 years age. From 325 patients 171 (101 male and 70 female) was diagnosed with pre-diabetes whereas 154 (92 male and 62 female) was suffering from diabetes. From the 171and 154 who were diagnosed with pre-diabetes and diabetes 22 and 34 individual was smoker, 2 each involved in betel nut chewing, 81% and 82% with abdominal obesity respectively. Out of 154 individual diabetes 30% individual have normal blood pressure, 18% with prehypertension and remaining 52% of patients was suffering from hypertension.
