Blood glucose values of more than 7mmol/L was regarded as diabetes. It was a questionnaire based study. Subject’s medical history, family history and general condition were assessed to determine the health condition. Student t test was used to compare the results. Probability value of less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: There were 31 cases (14.1%) and 42 controls (21%) that were less than 40 years of age. There were 48 cases (22.3%) and 62 controls (31%) that were 41-55 years of age. There were 79 cases (35.9%) and 48 controls (24%) that were 56-70 years of age. The mean LDL amongst cases and controls was 2.70±0.11 and 2.31±0.05 respectively. There was a significant difference in cholesterol level amongst cases and controls. The mean triglyceride level amongst cases was 1.67±0.06 and controls were 1.38±0.04. Conclusion: Presence of family history of diabetes, sedentary lifestyle with lack of physical activity, increase body mass index and blood pressure are significant risk factors associated with diabetes.
