Abstract

At a young age, most people tend to have unhealthy eating patterns. For example, many young people prefer fast food and sweet foods such as donuts, cakes, and boba drinks rather than consuming healthy foods. If this habit is not changed, it can cause diabetes mellitus at a young age. Diabetes Mellitus is very detrimental, apart from that it can reduce the sufferer's quality of life due to the complications that can occur. Participants in this activity are students who receive counseling regarding diabetes mellitus and complications of diabetes mellitus. The aim of counseling and education for teenagers can directly have the effect of changing behavior, for example improving diet and increasing physical activity.

The results obtained by participants were able to understand diabetes mellitus, the dangers of diabetes mellitus, and participants knew the results of blood pressure, glucose, uric acid and BMI examinations so that the students could know their health condition.
