Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a group of metabolic diseases depicted by crippled insulin release by the pancreas and insulin resistance of body tissues. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes using HbA1c. Material and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Islam Medical College Sialkot during 2020 to 2021. A special questionnaire concerning family history and health-related information was filled for all participants by direct interviews with the researchers. People previously diagnosed with diabetes or hemoglobinopathies were ruled out from the study. Blood samples were collected from all subjects using EDTA tubes and centrally analyzed for HbA1c. Results: The data was collected from 200 patients of both genders. In all, 200 participants were found to be currently diabetic, giving an overall prevalence of current condition to be 24.6% (95% CI 21.90 - 27.49) in the study population. History of disease was reported by 31.5% participants (P < 0.001). Conclusion: It is concluded that adjustments in platelet files are believed to be measurably connected with diabetes and its intricacies. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes is much higher than previously thought in Pakistan.
