One in forty healthy young Indians shopping in malls have unrecognised hyperglycaemia. Rajbhandari S. 2017. abstract bibtex Objectives: Despite diabetes being increasingly prevalent in India, there is no official screening programme there. As a part of 'World Diabetes Day 20150 we performed random blood glucose monitoring in shopping malls to increase awareness of diabetes. We wanted to study the prevalence of raised blood glucose in healthy subjects below the age of 40 years. Method: A display stall with information about diabetes was kept at 50 'Landmark Stores' in shopping malls across 6 cities in India over a period of 10 days. Random capillary blood glucose testing was offered to shoppers who wanted testing. Results: 41,464 subjects had test performed of which 29,932 were between the ages of 15 - 40. 929 already known to have diabetes and 75 subjects with no data were excluded. Of the remaining 28,928 subjects (63.7% males), 7,263 (25.1%) had first degree relatives with diabetes. 687 (2.4%) had random blood glucose above 7.8mmol/l suggesting impaired glucose tolerance. Out of this 162 (0.6%) had blood glucose above 11.1mmol/l suggesting the possibility of undiagnosed diabetes. There was a significant association for increased impaired glucose in older age groups (0.6% in 15-20 years, 1.0% in 21-25 years, 2.1% in 26-30 years, 3.5% in 31-35 years and 5.8% in 36-40 years). Discussion: Unrecognised hyperglycaemia was common in young subjects who came for leisure shopping in India. UKPDS data has shown long term benefit of early glycaemic control so a national screening programme is necessary in India to diagnose and treat diabetes early.
