Background and Aim: Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 is consider as obesity which is considered as one of the modifiable risk factors of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). The main aim of the study is to evaluate correlation between body mass index (BMI) and Random Blood Glucose and how the metabolic component influence the severity of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes at a diabetes care hospital in Patna city. Method: 120 subjects whose age in between 30 to 60 years has selected for the trial. Weight and height was recorded and random blood glucose was measured by automatic home based blood glucose monitor (Accu -Check Instant S Meter). Result: Mean age of subjects was 41.0 + 6.8 years (40.0 + 6.6 among females and 42.2 + 6.4 among males p= 0.1007). Between BMI and RBS, a positive correlation was noticed among 120 subjects (Pearson’s correlation coefficient r = + 0.29). With an increase in age in there was a statistically significant increase in RBS and BMI (p≥0.001). Conclusion: A statistically significant direct co relation among RBS and BMI was confirmed in the present study. Major conclusion from this study suggest that BMI is crucial factor to maintain normal glycemic level in subjects with T2DM.
