Abstract: Introduction Diabetes and its complication have become a major health concern worldwide. It is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia caused due to reduced insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. This study aimed to assess the awareness and knowledge of Diabetes among the students. Method A total of 357 were included in the study. The questionnaire consisted of an information sheet with the consent form and the main questionnaire consisting of 18 closed-ended questions. The questionnaire was distributed to students Results From the survey it is evident that most (50.7%) of the students who participated in this were aware of the condition known as Diabetes.58.8% of the study population was aware of the gestational diabetes. 64.9% of the participants felt that obesity was one of the important causes of diabetes and 66.3% (237/357) listed that family history could be a causative factor for DM. 60.5% of the students opted that the risk factor of DM was decreased physical activity and 39.5% were unaware of this cause. The survey states that excessive sugar intake (69.7%) as a risk factor for DM. excessive urination (68.6%) is the most common symptom for DM. And only 52.3% were aware that weight loss was a symptom of DM.
