| 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. More than 50% of the total students in the survey were aware that diabetes could be prevented and treatment could help the affected individual Conclusion This study indicates the need for increasing diabetes awareness activities in the form of mass media campaigns, social media campaigns, public lectures and door to door campaigns on a massive scale. |
