Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem that is increasing over time, including among adolescents. So, this must get serious attention for the community, especially adolescents who lack education related to diabetes mellitus. Therefore, one solution that can be provided is to provide education that can increase knowledge related to diabetes mellitus and increase awareness of the importance of maintaining health from an early age. This community service (PkM) program aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the diabetes education program implemented at SMK YARSI MEDIKA. Through pre-test and post-test surveys, as well as observations of student participation in activities, students' average knowledge score increased from 74 to 90, a rise of 16 points (22%), indicating a significant increase in students' knowledge of diabetes after attending the program. The results of this program indicate that a comprehensive and sustainable education program is essential to increase adolescents' awareness of the importance of maintaining health and preventing diabetes.
