%X Background: Oke-Ogun consists of 10 Local Government of Oyo State, Nigeria.   Although literature abounds on prevalence of diabetes in Nigeria, there is none in   this geo-political zone. There appears to be a high genetic predisposition as well as socio-cultural factors responsible for the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes   in this zone.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of diabetes and   pre-diabetes and associated socio-demographic characteristics among indigenes   of Oke-Ogun.
Method: Of the 10,000 respondents who participated in the study, 6,915 had   completed data. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) was measured using calibrated   glucometers and classified thus; normal (¡Ü 6 mmol/l), pre-diabetes (6.1-6.9   mmol/l), and diabetes (¡Ý 7 mmol/l). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics,   chi-square and binary logistic regression tests at value of p<0.05.
Results: There was a female preponderance for diabetes and pre-diabetes.   Majority, 63.4% had no formal education, 82.9% earned less than NGN 18,000   ($50) per monthly income. The mean FPG was 5.50 ¡À 2.20 mmol/l. The overall   prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes in the study were 4.6% and 6.0%   respectively.
Conclusion: This study shows high prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes among   residents of Oke-Ogun. DM is more common in the females, and in those below   the age of 61 years. The high pre-diabetes prevalence might imply an impending   diabetes epidemic among the indigene of Oke-Ogun. Family history of diabetes,   a surrogate of genetics is an important association of DM in the study. A large   proportion of the residents were in abject poverty, a critical factor to be considered   in their management.
