Diabetes mellitus is a disease whose dramatic increase in prevalence worldwide poses a global health crisis. The incidence of diabetes has risen due to insufficient practice surrounding the disease. The quality of life has decreased due to the recent rise in diabetes related mortality and illnesses. Hence, leading healthy lives requires patients to have self-awareness, which will eventually contribute to reducing diabetes mellitus related complications. (Mahzari M A, Oraibi O H, Shami A M, et al , 2022)1Diabetes mellitus is rapidly, gaining a potential epidemic state all over the world. In 2014, about 387 million people were suffering from diabetes mellitus globally, of which 75 million people are from Southeast Asia. And it is projected to be 592,000,000by 2035. Among the diabetic population, 77% are living in low and middle income countries or average developed people. Every 7 seconds, one person dies from diabetes mellitus. Globally, more than 21 million live births have been affected by diabetes mellitus during pregnancy in 2013. It not only poses a grave threat to the health of a mother and her child, but evidence shows that this can lead to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus later in life for the child between 20 to 79 years of age. 66846 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and 35495 million people remained undiagnosed. (Koley M, Saha S, Arya JS, et al, 2016)2So, a quantitative descriptive research approach and design was used to assess the level of awareness regarding Diabetes Mellitus among people suffering from Diabetes Mellitus. A total sample of 100 people suffering from Diabetes Mellitus was taken through purposive sampling technique. Self-structured interview schedule was used for collection of data. Data collected is analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics.Conclusion: Findings of the study revealed that out of 100 Diabetes Mellitus patients, 98% had good level of awareness, 2% had average level of awareness and 0% had below average level of awareness. Study concluded that most of the sample had good level of awareness regarding Diabetes Mellitus.
