Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering socio-demographics, risk factors, diabetes symptoms, and self-reported diagnosis. Random blood glucose testing was performed for undiagnosed participants reporting symptoms.

Major risk factors included physical inactivity (56%), family history of diabetes (51.3%), obesity (20.7%), hypertension (40.7%), tobacco use (28%), and inadequate sleep (38%).
