University students are exposed to lifestyle factors irregular meals, sedentary behaviour, academic stress, and disturbed sleep that may predispose them to early glucose dysregulation, yet this group is infrequently screened.</p> <p><strong>Objective: </strong>To determine the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes among students at Assam down town University, Guwahati, India, using fasting capillary blood glucose measurement.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 students who volunteered following written informed consent. Demographic and lifestyle data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Fasting capillary blood glucose was measured using a calibrated glucometer (Dr. Morepen GlucoOne system) after an overnight fast. Participants were classified as normal pre-diabetic, or diabetic according to standard fasting glucose cut-offs. Proportions are reported with 95% confidence intervals (Wilson score method).</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 60 students screened, 36 had normal fasting glucose, 24 were classified as pre-diabetic, and none met the fasting glucose threshold for diabetes. The pre-diabetes estimate observed here exceeds recent national Indian benchmarks, although differences in age group, sampling design, and testing method limit direct comparison.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>More than a third of the apparently healthy young adults screened in this single-institution study were already in the pre-diabetic range, although the modest sample size produced wide confidence intervals around this estimate. These preliminary findings support the value of routine glucose screening and lifestyle-focused health promotion on university campuses, and warrant confirmation in larger, multi-institutional studies.</p> <p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong><br />Kom H W, Sangma J N, Chakravarty B K, Sona T C, Devi P S, Rynjah N, Tamang R, Sympli B, Kharshiing R, Moirangthem S.
