Abstract:
Students from nine schools and one college in Madras city, were screened for diabetes by oral glucose tolerance test. The criteria recommended by the World Health Organization was adopted to classify glucose tolerance. Among 3,515 students, between 5 and 19 years of age, participated in this survey, 1982 (56.4%) were males and 1.533 were (43.6%) females. Family history of diabetes was positive in 302 (8.6%) students. There was no overt case of diabetes of any type. Three (0.09%) males had renal glycosuria. It is therefore concluded that insulin-dependent diabetes, non-insulin dependent diabetes or any other type of diabetes in the young is rare in South India.
