Background: Stroke rank high among the leading causes of death and permanent disability in India. Due to shifting demographics and rising rates of important modifiable risk factors. The purpose of this study was to compare the blood sugar levels of people with and without diabetes in the early stages of ischemic stroke. Material and Methods:  40 patients who had been admitted to the Department of General Medicine, Sri Venkateswaraa Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Puducherry, India for the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke between the April 2022 to March 2023 were included in this study. The Patients were on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: In our analysis of 40 patients, the majority of them were male, indicating a male preponderance, which is prevalent in most investigations. Twenty-eight of the forty patients had hypertension, 34 had diabetes, three had a history of myocardial infarction, and one female patient had atrial fibrillation. The majority of the patients (15) were between the ages of 51 and 60, with 11 between the ages of 27.5 and 12.5% between the ages of 40 and 50. Conclusion: Ischemic stroke severity, magnitude, and outcome are linearly related to admission day hyperglycemia. Diabetes and stress hyperglycemics have greater severe strokes and worse functional outcomes and higher death. Admission day glucose levels predict ischemic stroke outcomes.
