If the compensation is not sufficient and with the addition of genetic and environment factors, diabetes mellitus are more likely to occur. The general parameter utilized to determine the condition of diabetes mellitus is blood glucose level, therefore the analysis of obesity risk to blood glucose level are performed. Objectives: To determine the relation of the risk of obesity level to the blood  glucose level. Methods: The secondary data are analyzed based on SKRT 2004 and Susenas 2004 data. All the samples are female and male with the age among 25-65. Results: The people with obesity are 1.78 times more likely to have high blood glucose level than person with normal weight. The other variable is that the female have less risk of 0.72 times and 0.62 times to have borderline and high blood glucose level compared to male. The age groups of 36-45 and 46-65 have risk 1.28 times and 1.52 times respectively, to have high glucose level than the age group of 25-35. Another result shows that the people living in the city are 1.30 times more likely to have high blood glucose level than those living in countryside. Conclusions: The people with obesity are more risky to have high blood glucose level than people with normal weight. The other risk factors of borderline or high blood glucose level are men, living in city and above 36 years of age.
