ABSTRACT
Objective: To Study and Analyze the use of screening of blood donors for Diabetes Mellitus and the cost-effectiveness and use of blood glucose level among apparently healthy blood donors. Material & Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Immunohematology and Transfusion Medicine, S.P. Medical College and Associated group of Hospitals, Bikaner (Rajasthan) as free diabetes screening program among apparently healthy blood donors reported to donate blood at the blood bank or in camps as a part of pre-donation medical check-up. Reported Blood Donors were interviewed, counseled and examined as per questionnaire and criteria for donor selection laid down in Drug and Cosmetic rules, Government of India during the period of May to July 2015. Results: The present study shows the out of total 2000 donors, 1817 (90.9%), 106 (5.3%) and 77 (3.9%) donors had their random blood sugar <140, 140-200 and >200 respectively and observe that male to female ratio 46.6:1. The results show the mean BMI in RBS 200 mg/dl group mean BMI was 24.78?5.84 kg/m2. Conclusion: As a screening tool measurement of random plasma glucose by Glucometer is also cost-effective as it costs less than INR 15 per strip per donor screened and convenient as it can be performed along with a haemoglobin estimation of every donor. By providing Screening facility as a part of Pre-donation medial check-up it can be an aid-on medical facility for upcoming donors, which is cost-effective, convenient and by grabbing the interest of enthusiastic donors it will help to raise the donor pool, which would be safe and voluntary.
Key-words: Diabetes Mellitus, Blood Donation, Random Plasma Glucose Level, Screening.
