Introduction: Diabetes mellitus in India is gaining epidemic potential. Indian diabetes risk score (IRDS)is a simple screening tool to predict risk of development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objectives 1. To estimate risk of diabetes mellitus among the medical Students using Indian diabetes risk score. 2. To correlate IDRS score with blood glucose level, lipid profile, Body mass index, perceived stress and eating habits. 3. To assess knowledge of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 among the medical students. Methodology: After obtaining ethical clearance from Institutional ethics committee, a cross sectional study was conducted amongst undergraduate medical students for a period of 2 months. Participants who were willing to participate and not suffering from any co morbid conditions were included. Data collection was done using a pre tested semi structured questionnaire and diabetes risk assessment was done using IDRS.Other modifiable risk factors were assessed. Ten students were randomly selected from each category and were subjected to estimation of FBS and serum lipid profile. Statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 29. Results: A total of 268 medical students participated in the present study with mean age of20 ±1.26 years. As per IDRS risk assessment, majority were at moderate risk (59.3%). Statistically significant association was seen between stress and risk of Diabetes mellitus as per IDRS (Chi square =14.7 and p<0.05). Conclusion: With scant knowledge about multifactorial causation of diabetes mellitus and high level of perceived stress among medical students raised concern over health of future generation of health care givers.
