Nalini Tripathi
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the world's most serious public health issues. Its high morbidity and death contribute to high healthcare costs, particularly in poorer nations. This study uses the cutting - edge mobile lab Cum Labike technology to ascertain the prevalence of diabetes and the risk factors related with it in the rural community. A cross - sectional study with 859 people over the age of 18 was carried out in two rural areas of Delhi. The WHO STEPS technique was employed to gather information on additional variables and socio - demographic parameters. Measurements were made of height, weight, blood sugar, and lipid profile. The semi - automated biochemistry analyzer on the mobile lab Cum Labike was used to gather and test the blood samples. Diabetes affected 4.1% of the participants in the study. Hypercholesterolemia, age, and raised triglycerides were significantly associated with diabetes. Prevention of risk factors, management of complications of these non - communicable diseases are possible if early detection can be made but due to unavailability of diagnostic facilities at cheaper rates most of the patients diagnosed too late. Labike using semi - automated biochemistry analyzer is an innovative technology and has the capacity as a point of care device used for the preventive screening and providing diagnostic services in the remote and rural areas.
