Background: Diabetes as a non-communicable disease is significant public health problem all over the world. In a non-communicable disease due to lack of clear etiological agent, it is heavily dependent on identifying and tackling risk factors. The disturbing finding of diabetes mellitus as the earlier age of onset combined with increasing prevalence of diabetes could have adverse effects on the nations health and economy this underscores the need for mass awareness and screening programs to detect diabetes at an early stage. The main objectives were to study the type II diabetes mellitus risk among medical student and to understand the association of Indian diabetes risk score (IDRS) with the body mass index (BMI). Methods: A cross sectional study was done among 600 students belonging to class I to class III part II in SSIMS & RC Davangere, from 1st February 2015 to 1st March 2015. A predesigned questionnaire was developed and was used to collect the data. Microsoft Office 2013 version was used for analysis of data. Results: According to body mass index (BMI) of the subjects, majority 225 (50.6%) were normal, 102 (20.2%) were pre-obese and 147 (29.2%) were considered as obese. Most of pre-obese and obese students were consuming mixed diet. IDRS shows that 80% (405) of the study population were having mild risk and chances of developing diabetes in future, whereas 6% (28) of the study participants had high risk and were counselled and asked to cut down weight and were told about life style modifications and 14% (71) of the volunteers had a moderate risk of developing diabetes. Conclusions: There is increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus among the First Grade College students. BMI has strong association with Indian Diabetes Risk Score, which indicates that most of the risk is modifiable with life style modifications and dietary changes in the students.
