Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the link of diabetes with SES and life event stress. The risk of a diabetic is likely to be multifactorial behavioural problems such as physical inactivity, food habits etc. Some SES factors are identified as risk factors having an association with diabetic. These factors are gender, age, marital status, level of education, income, occupation, residential area, financial liability etc. Stressful experiences are implicated within the onset of diabetes in individuals already predisposed to developing the disease. This study was conducted on a sample of 240 respondents using Singh et al PSSI and Kuppuswamy SES scale. Findings reveal that diabetes was linked to life event stress. However, the insignificant difference was found between high and low SES.
