participants (age group 40 - 69 years) shows thatdiet rich in vegetables and fruits protective factoragainst type 2 DM (Relative Risk (RR) 0.72),whereas diet rich in potatoes, whole milk, butter,etc. enhance the risk of type 2 DM (RR: 1.49) [12].In this study GDM was statistically significant andpositively associated with type 2 DM with the ORof 14.40 and p-value of <0.001. In China a group ofwomen were studied 5 – 10 years after deliverywho were diagnosed as GDM in their previouspregnancies shows that 33.3% develop type 2 DM[13]. In this study, hypertension was significantlypositively associated with type 2 DM (OR 3.62p- value <0.001). Another study in Nepal alsoshows that Hypertension was significantlyassociated with type 2 DM [7]. Waist circumferencewas significantly positively associated (OR: 2.19;p-value 0.007) with type 2 DM during bivariateanalysis. Increase in intra-abdominal fat leads toincrease in waist circumference. Intra- abdominalfat is more strongly associated with insulinresistance than fat elsewhere in the body
