Family history of diabetes and age were predictive factors of diabetes (OR = 0.940, 95% CI = 0.91-0.98) and (OR = 3.718, 95% CI = 1.438-9.613) respectively. Prevalence of diabetes in obese was high. There is need to screen adult obese patient for diabetes, especially those who are 60 years and above.
