A total 50participants were randomly selected, who visited the endocrinology outpatient department of the hospital in Kolkata. All the data have been collected from clinical records for baseline data of biochemical profiles such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG), post - prandial plasma glucose (PPPG) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and obesity parameter viz. body mass index (BMI) among DM subjects. The education was delivered through counselling and compared between baseline versus 3months and 6months followed up. The biochemical profiles viz. FPG, PPPG and HbA1c, as well as BMI values were found significantly (P<0.001 and P<0.01) decreasing trend during 3months and 6months follow up after education to DM subjects. In the present study, for 6months follow up, the principal component analysis (PCA) indicated the PC - 1 (94.822%) relatively higher value of positive loading for FBG. The present study concludes that education through counselling was observed efficacious for the prevention of DM among patients of eastern India.
