<![CDATA[Background: There are still many people with Diabetes Mellitus who experience failure in managing the disease due to limited knowledge related to controlling blood glucose levels, so they are at risk of relapse and complications. Family knowledge plays an important role in supporting the success of diabetes control in patients. Health education for the patient's family is very important to create a supportive environment and improve the quality of life of patients. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of health education on family knowledge about controlling blood sugar levels in Diabetes Mellitus patients. Methods: The design or plan of this study is quantitative descriptive with an experiment using a pre-experimental method of one group pre-post test design with a pre-test and post-test questionnaire measuring instrument. Results: The results of the study showed that most of the respondents (55%) had sufficient knowledge before the intervention (pre-test) and all respondents (100%) had good knowledge after the intervention (post-test) with a p value of 0.001 (<0.05) then H1 is accepted meaning that there is an effect of health education on family knowledge. Conclusion: Looking at the results of the study, the researcher concluded that health education has an effect on family knowledge about controlling blood sugar levels in Diabetes Mellitus patients. It is hoped that further researchers can develop research by completing the characteristics of respondents that have not been studied, linking the characteristics of respondents with family knowledge about controlling blood sugar levels in Diabetes Mellitus patients so that the research results are more accurate and in-depth.]]>
