Abstract :

Diabetes mellitus has been described for more than 2000 years for the past 2000 years, it has featured in the history of modern medicine and yet when we have reached the new millennium, our knowledge of the nature of diabetes is still incomplete. Complications from diabetes, such as coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease, stroke, diabetic neuropathy, amputations, renal failure and blindness are resulting in increasing disability, reduced life expectancy and enormous health costs for virtually every society. Diabetes is certain to be one of the most challenging health problems in the 21st century. Because of the differences in the lifestyle of urban and rural population, we evaluated the anthropometric measurements between newly diagnosed cases of T2DM from rural and urban areas. We also uncovered the differences in complications owing to T2DM in two different populations.
