Prediabetes an asymptomatic intermediate state of hyperglycemia with blood glycemic parameters above normal but below the diabetes threshold with high probability of developing diabetes. Hence, main aim of the study was to screen the prediabetics using IDRS (Indian Diabetic Risk Score). Around 948 healthy volunteers (office administrators, employees, trainees and authorities) between the age of 25-60 years were selected from a Central Government funded center and from five private industries for screening the prediabetic subjects. From the 948 participants screened, 540 (57%) were males and 408 (43%) were females. About 35% male and 36.3% female subjects, were having an IDRS of ≥ 60 and were categorized as subjects with high risk vulnerabilities. From the high risk vulnerabilities group, about 120 (35.6%) subjects (64 male and 56 female) who had fasting blood glucose level ranging between 100-125 mg/dl were identified as prediabetics.The study revealed that the prediabetics can be screened in a simple and effective way for large populations.
