Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly called diabetes, is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels for a prolonged period. In this study, low blood glucose levels are studied in different areas of district Mardan in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in district Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. It provided a comprehensive overview of the diabetes prevalence in different regions and age groups The total of 556 samples were collected from 5 hospitals, with Mardan medical complex (MMC) having the highest prevalence value (29.13%) and Tehsil Head Quarter (THQ) Lundkhwar having the lowest prevalence value (10.97%). Males had a prevalence of diabetes mellitus of 5.1%, while females had a prevalence of 10.44%. The overall rate of the diabetes mellitus disease was high in urban areas 7.52% as matched to the rural areas 6.75%. Diabetes mellitus prevalence was higher overall in married individuals (70%), compared to lower levels in unmarried people (30%). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was highest in the age range 61-100 (11.25%), and lowest in the age range from 1-20 (4.68%). In this study we identified the total prevalence in district Mardan is 7.01%. The results shows a high prevalence in this area as per previous record. In this area, necessary steps for the control of the disease should be agreed upon diabetes mellitus.
