Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: With high rates of diabetes and tuberculosis, India facing a double burden in controlling these two diseases. TB and Diabetes complicate each other posing a threat to the anti-tubercular programme in India. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of Diabetes mellitus among TB patients and its associated risk factors. Material & Methods: It was an institutional based cross sectional study done at Government General Hospital, Guntur. All tuberculosis cases as per inclusion criteria were interviewed after obtaining a informed written consent. A total sample size of the study was 252. Fasting blood sugar estimation was done to determine the prevalence of diabetes. Appropriate statistical tests were applied wherever applicable. Results: Out of the total 252 tubercular patients, the overall prevalence of Diabetes mellitus was found to be 30.6% (n=77), of which 77.8% (n=60) were newly diagnosed cases. Univariate analysis of factors associated with Diabetes among TB patients showed that increasing age, Body Mass Index (BMI), systolic blood pressure and category of TB treatment were significantly associated (p<0.05). Conclusions: Screening of the TB patients for Diabetes would help for its early detection and improve the outcome of both the diseases.
