The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia increased by 2% in 2018 compared to 2013. The highest prevalence was in DKI Jakarta Province (3.4%) and the lowest was in NTT Province (0.9%) among residents aged ≥15 years. The prevalence of DM in all ages was lower, at 1.5%, than the prevalence of DM in those aged ≥15 years (Kemenkes RI, 2018a, 2018b).Complications in diabetes mellitus patients can have an impact on the quality of life of diabetes mellitus patients. Various physical health problems that can be caused by diabetes mellitus include diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, heart disease, and vascular problems.
