Background: Obesity is a global challenge all over the world. Body mass index is a good marker to measure the adiposity. Obesityis one of the important risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Normal random blood glucose levels are closely regulated in healthwith a normal range of 4.4-7.8mmol/l (79-140mg/dl), despite the varying demands of food, exercise and fasting. Many diabeticpatients are obese and studies suggest a strong association between the two.Objective: To find an association of BMI with blood glucose level in undergraduate healthy students of Ayub Medical CollegeMaterial and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018, capillary blood samples were collected from 152students of Ayub Medical College Abbottabad to evaluate blood glucose level by Accu chek softclix® lancing device and Accu chekglucometer®, BMI was calculated by the formula (weight in kg/ height in meters squared). Data was collected and analyzed bySPSS version 23.Results: Total 152 (100%) healthy participants with 84 (55.3%) males and 68 (44.7%) females included in this study. Their ageswere ranged from 18-25 with a mean age of 21.02 years (min 17 max 26) having a standard deviation of 1.75. By taking thecorrelation between two parameters i.e. body mass index and serum random blood glucose level by Pearson product of moment(p=.214, r=101) a non-significant result was found.Conclusion: It is concluded that there is no significant association found between two parameters (BMI and serum BGL) in healthyyoung adults.

Abstract: Hyperglycemia is a state of elevated level of blood sugar in human body that exceeds normal level. The causes are not known yet for sure but it is often associated with insulin insufficiency and predisposition factors such as genetic, age, and obesity. Prolonged hyperglycemia may lead to the development of diabetes mellitus and as a risk factor of other metabolic diseases. Morbidity in hyperglycemia is increased along with the age and body weight. This study aimed to obtain the random blood glucose level among young adults aged 20-30 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m2. This was a descriptive study. The population consisted of 20 to 39 years old young adults with body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m2 who lived in the working area Community Health Center in Beo, Talaud. Data consisted of BMI measurements and random blood glucose levels by using stick device. The results showed that of 30 respondents with BMI ≥23 kg/m2, there was 1 respondent (3.33%) had hyperglycemia meanwhile the other 29 respondents (96.6%) had normal blood glucose level. Conclusion: In this study, the random blood glucose level among young adults aged 20-30 years with body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m2 were in normal range.Keywords: random plasma glucose level, 20-30 years old young adults, BMI ≥ 3 kg/m2Abstrak: Hiperglikemia adalah keadaan peningkatan kadar glukosa darah dalam tubuh seseorang yang melebihi kadar normal. Penyebab belum diketahui pasti tetapi sering dihubungkan dengan kurangnya insulin dan fator predisposisi yaitu genetik, umur, dan obesitas. Hiperglikemia yang tidak dikontrol secara terus menerus akan berkembang menjadi penyakit diabetes mellitus dan merupakan faktor risiko untuk penyakit metabolik lainnya. Angka morbiditas pada hiperglikemia juga meningkat seiring bertambahnya umur dan berat badan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar glukosa darah pada dewasa muda yang berusia 20-30 tahun dengan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) ≥23 kg/m2. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif. Populasi ialah dewasa muda berusia 20-30 tahun dengan IMT ≥23 kg/m2 yang tinggal di wilayah Puskesmas Beo Kecamatan Beo Kabupaten Kepulauan Talaud. Data diperoleh dengan pengukuran IMT dan pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah sesaat dengan menggunakan alat stick. Terdapat 30 responden dengan IMT ≥23 kg/m2 dimana 1 orang (3.33%) yang mengalami hiperglikemia dan 29 orang (96.6%) dengan kadar glukosa darah dalam batas normal. Simpulan: Sebagian besar dewasa muda usia 20-30 tahun dengan IMT ≥23 kg/m2 mempunyai kadar glukosa darah sesaat normal.Kata kunci: glukosa darah sesaat, dewasa muda usia 20-30 tahun, IMT ≥23 kg/m2

The objective of this study is correlation of body mass index with waist circumference, random blood sugar and dietary pattern to predict diabetes in university boys (18-25years). A study of random blood glucose, waist circumference and body mass index of 50 subject’s age (18-25years) was carried out. The nutritional dietary pattern of the subjects using the 24 hours dietary recall techniques was done Data was collected with a structured questionnaire. Subjects were measured for waist circumference and weight and height determent for BMI. Estimation of random blood glucose with the help of ACCU- CHECK indicated that all the boys had normal level. Subjects consisted of 50 university boys, the mean participant’s average weight is 68.21±9.31kg, average height is 173.76±7.43cm and average BMI 22.50±2.23kg/m2. Normal BMI (18.5-22.9kg/m2) was found in (48%), underweight (2%), overweight (34%) and obese (16%) of the subject studied.  The mean waist circumference of participants is 85.16±6.38cm. The abnormal waist circumference (WC) was observed in 28% (n=14) and normal waist circumference is 72% (n=36) of the subject studied. The mean random blood sugar is 122.88±9.51mg/dl. The random of the subject blood sugar method is 100% normal.  The nutrition intake of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates is there mean of participants is average of energy 1786.41±335.17kcal, protein 62.70±17.4gm, fat 47.18±14.00gm and carbohydrates 256.37±59.38gm. There was a statistically positive correlation between waist circumference, body mass index and  random blood sugar . Therefore, waist circumference, non-invasive techniques has a good correlation with BMI and therefore abdominal obesity is a predictor of diabetes.Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 6(3): 274-278
