In diabetes mellitus, there is absolute or relative insulin deficiency and impaired insulin function. Diabetes mellitus is classified into type 1 DM, type 2 DM, other types of DM, and DM in pregnancy. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT. is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, occurring due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both .

Reports from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), predict an increase in the number of DM sufferers in the world from 425 million people in 2017 to 629 million people in 2045. Meanwhile in Southeast Asia, from 82 million in 2017, to 151 million in 2045. Indonesia is the 7th country out of the top 10 countries which are estimated to have a DM sufferer of 5. 4 million in 2045 and have low blood sugar level control rates . In line with this. Basic Health Research (Riskesda. shows a significant increase in the prevalence rate of Diabetes, from 6. 9% in 2013 to 8. 5% in 2018. so that the estimated number of sufferers in Indonesia reaches more than 16 million people who are then at risk of other diseases, such as: heart attack, stroke, blindness and kidney failure can even cause paralysis and death . The results of research in America show that in adulthood, intake calorie average 3200 calories. This amount produces 47% of glucose for the body. Each person has a caloric intake of 17001900 calories and a source of calories that produces glucose for the body can reach 70%. According to data from the Pematang Siantar City Health Office, the incidence of DM disease is relatively high during 2020, namely 2,932 people. The area in Pematang Siantar City, namely in Tomuan District, shows the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus as many as 489 people and increasing every year . The high number of people with Diabetes Mellitus is based on increasing symptoms, people who are obese, smokers and with increasing age, and lack of The level of education also influences the occurrence of diabetes mellitus because it affects the lack of awareness of health, especially understanding of diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus which continues to increase will indirectly increase the morbidity and mortality due to diabetes mellitus and complications will occur. Prevention is intended so that people do not adopt new habits such as consuming fast food and do not like to exercise in a society that can pose a risk to several diseases. Prevention that is a threat to diabetes is primarily primary prevention where this prevention is aimed at groups who have risk factors or those who have not had diabetes mellitus but have the potential to get diabetes Prevention of diabetes mellitus includes a healthy lifestyle including eating patterns that must be maintained and regular, physical activity, checking blood sugar levels regularly, and increasing knowledge or education with health education . Knowledge, attitude and behavior are very important factors for changing a person's behavior. Thus, good knowledge and attitudes for a person about diabetes mellitus and its prevention are very important and necessary in shaping a person's behavior in preventing diabetes mellitus.

Counseling is a dynamic process that facilitates learning activities and changes in behavior related to individual, family and community health problems so that the ability to overcome their own problems increases.

The expected results in this health education are changes in knowledge, attitudes and behavior of individuals, families and communities to be able to instill the principles of healthy living in daily health to achieve optimal health status. According to Notoatmodjo . ) the success of an extension education can be measured by measuring attitudes or changes in attitudes from the respondents themselves . According to the researchers' assumptions, there is an effect of health education on the knowledge of DM sufferers about the DM diet. One that is related to a person's diet is knowledge. Some respondents have low education, low education greatly affects a person's knowledge. Patients who have better knowledge are able to control themselves in overcoming the problems they face, are able to find information that is important for their health For example, a diet for Because of that, according to the researchers, it is necessary to conduct health education Journal homepage: http://pcijournal. org/index. php/iamsph/index International Archives of Medical Sciences and Public Health A 143 about diet for diabetics to increase the knowledge of respondents.

And after the treatment, the results obtained were an average of 30. 20 with a standard deviation of 0. There was an increase in the average before and after treatment was 0. 127 with a standard deviation of 0. The statistical test results obtained a p value of 0. 007 <0. 05 so it can be concluded that there is an effect of health education on attitudes about a healthy diet in sufferers. Based on the results of the pretest, it is known that the attitude of the respondents before being given health education was less in the less than average attitude category of 24 respondents . 6%), and more in the more than average category of 31 respondents . 4%) with an average score -average 19.

This type of research is a pure experiment with a pre-test and post-test research design in the control and treatment groups. In this design, the grouping of sample members is done randomly. The assessment was carried out before and after the intervention. The results showed that there were differences in knowledge between before and after nutrition education with a p value <0. 05, there was an effect of education on attitudes in this case dietary compliance and blood glucose levels in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients with a p value <0. Insulin resistance in type 2 DM is accompanied by decreased intra-cell reactions, thus insulin becomes ineffective in stimulating glucose uptake by tissues. To overcome insulin resistance and prevent its formation in the blood there must be an increase in secreted insulin. In type 2 DM the cells are unable to To compensate for the increased need for insulin, glucose levels will increase which will eventually lead to the problem of nonketotic hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome which causes symptoms of hunger, fatigue, irritability, polyuria, polydipsia, infection and blurred . Provision of regular health education with simple material, appropriate methods, adequate material providers and appropriate time for the respondent who will carry out rehabilitation can increase the respondent's knowledge.
