The Effect of Health Education Using Posters on Improving Knowledge of Diabetes Mellitus Management in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients at Graha Husada Hospital

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with an increasing prevalence in Indonesia. According to the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI), the prevalence of diabetes mellitus among adults increased from 10.9% in 2018 to 11.7% in 2023. In Lampung Province, the prevalence among individuals aged ≥15 years is 1.4%. Limited knowledge of diabetes management contributes to poor blood glucose control and increases the risk of complications. Therefore, effective health education is needed to improve patients' knowledge.
