Abstract
The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and the number of people of all ages (both sexes) with diabetes and their medication. Patient data was collected from 512 patients in Out-patient Pharmacy (OPP) of K.M Hospital, Ananthapuramu, A.P. India. The patients are asked to fill a sheet containing a set of questions. The results shows that the prevalence of diabetes is higher in menthan women, but there are more women with diabetes than men. These findings provide an underestimate of future diabetes prevalence.
