Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a significant public health concern with multifaceted etiology. This study aimed to uncover the predisposing factors for T2DM within an institutional setting at Mamata Medical College, Khammam.

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional observational design was employed, encompassing 100 patients from the outpatient Department of General Medicine, Mamata Medical College. Participants were assessed for demographic details, lifestyle habits, clinical measurements, treatment patterns, and associated complications. Data were statistically analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods.

Results: The mean age of participants was 52 years, with a male predominance (60%). Key findings included an average BMI of 28.4, indicating an overweight status, and 55% of participants reporting physical inactivity. Dietary habits revealed 25% regular soft drink consumption and 40% weekly fast food intake. Clinically, the mean fasting blood glucose level was 126 mg/dL, and the average HbA1c was 6.8%. About 45% had a family history of T2DM. Treatment modalities varied, with 50% on oral hypoglycemic agents. Complications observed were diabetic retinopathy (10%) and neuropathy (25%), with 35% having associated cardiovascular disease.
