<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem with a continuously increasing prevalence. The postpartum period is an important time to detect glucose metabolism disorders, particularly among women with risk factors such as a family history of diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family history of diabetes mellitus and diabetes mellitus risk among postpartum women based on HbA1c levels. A quantitative study with a correlational analytic design and cross-sectional approach was conducted among 26 postpartum women at 35–42 days postpartum in the working area of Ngasem Public Health Center, Kediri Regency, from January to May 2026. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Family history data were collected through structured interviews, while diabetes mellitus risk was assessed based on HbA1c levels. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α=0.05. Most respondents had no family history of diabetes mellitus (69.2%) and had normal HbA1c levels (81.0%). Prediabetes was identified in 19.0% of respondents, while no respondents were classified as having diabetes mellitus. The Chi-square test showed p=0.115 (p>0.05), indicating no significant relationship between family history of diabetes mellitus and diabetes mellitus risk among postpartum women based on HbA1c levels. The absence of a significant association may reflect the limited sample size and the influence of other factors that were not assessed in this study.]]>
