Introduction Diabetes is a long-term condition that necessitates ongoing medical attention and self-care to prevent immediate complications and minimize the likelihood of long-term issues. Early diagnosis is one of the most important steps for people living with diabetes to take. Public awareness regarding the importance of lifestyle modification in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus is a crucial preventive measure. Despite continuous efforts to raise public awareness, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to increase, with most people overlooking the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Our goal was to assess the impact of lifestyle modification on glycemic control in newly diagnosed diabetic patients. Materials and methods A total of 503 adults aged 30 years and above who were nondiabetic or were unaware of their diabetic status were assessed for their fasting blood glucose levels. Individuals identified as diabetic based on their fasting blood glucose levels were subjected to lifestyle modification for a period of three months. Glycemic levels were measured at the beginning and the end of the study period for comparison. Results Of the study participants, 7.6% were undiagnosed diabetics with increased blood sugar levels who were unaware of their diabetic status. Mean anthropometric measurements from pre- to postintervention values improved overall. Overall reduction was observed in weight (66.21±12.97 to 63.18±11.48), waist circumference (96.21±13.01 to 91.77±11.82), hip circumference (105.16±11.91 to 103.58±10.88), waist-hip ratio (0.91±0.09 to 0.88±0.08) and body mass index (27.48±6.04 to 26.18±5.30). Significant reductions were observed in the mean glycemic values, including fasting blood sugar (180.19±55.81 to 152.56±45.74) and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (8.61±1.97 to 6.68±1.67). Conclusion Lifestyle modification plays a crucial role in managing diabetes, both in preventing its onset and controlling its progression. The present study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and lifestyle interventions in the management of diabetes, thereby stressing the necessity of comprehensive strategies to combat this situation.

BACKGROUND: The urban poor is a group that is known to be vulnerable to the adoption of a more urbanized lifestyle that places them at a higher risk for diabetes. Identification of at-risk individuals using simple screening tools like the Indian diabetes risk score developed by Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF-IDRS) and appropriate lifestyle interventions could greatly help in preventing or postponing the onset of diabetes and thus reducing the burden of the disease on the community and the nation as a whole. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on individuals ≥30 years (n = 1533) of both genders in an urban colony of Chandigarh during a period of 1 year. A stratified two-stage systematic random sampling was adopted. The risk of developing Type 2 diabetes mellitus was assessed using IDRS. The total risk score of each participant was analyzed and compared. Biochemical investigations, including blood glucose and lipid profiles for detecting diabetes, were conducted. Data were presented in percentages and proportions. The statistical analysis of the data was performed by using the Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The prevalence of diabetes was 3.1% in the present study. Overall, the mean IDRS was found to be 52.14 ± 16.01. Elderly persons aged 60 years and above had higher IDRS. IDRS showed significant variability with age (P < 0.001). Females had significantly higher IDRS as compared to males (P = 0.002). The association between socioeconomic class and risk status was highly significant statistically (P < 0.001). IDRS among individuals with diabetes was found to be significantly higher (64.29 ± 13.92) as compared to non-diabetics. Among all, 749 (48.7%) had high IDRS, whereas 54 (3.5%) had low IDRS. There were 734 (47.8%) with moderate IDRS. CONCLUSION: IDRS was found to be highly sensitive for detecting the risk of diabetes, suggesting its potential use as a screening tool in community setup for the purpose of detecting diabetes.
