A cross-sectional evaluation on type 2 diabetes risk and the postprandial blood glucose level among undergraduate pharmacy students
Most of University students usually underestimate the risk of diabetes mellitus though a recent survey showed that an estimated 3.9 million Malaysians aged 18 and above are suffering from diabetes. This cross-sectional study aimed to heighten the awareness of risk of diabetes mellitus among future p...

To conduct this study, two batches of undergraduate year 1 Pharmacy students, total (n=221); 107 from 2018/19 (group A) and 114 from 2019/2020 (group B) intake were recruited.

There were no differences in body mass index (BMI) and DRS between both groups; mean BMI for A were 22.23 kg/m2 vs. 21.81 kg/m2 for B (p=0.149) and mean DRS for A was 8.93 vs. 8.39 for B (p=0.172).

Most of University students usually underestimate the risk of diabetes mellitus though a recent survey showed that an estimated 3.9 million Malaysians aged 18 and above are suffering from diabetes. This cross-sectional study aimed to heighten the awareness of risk of diabetes mellitus among future pharmacists and to assess their diabetes risk score (DRS) with postprandial glucose level (PPG). To conduct this study, two batches of undergraduate year 1 Pharmacy students, total (n=221); 107 from 2018/19 (group A) and 114 from 2019/2020 (group B) intake were recruited.
