Abstract

DM is one of the most common chronic conditions in human history. DM can occur at any age. Type 2 DM is most common at 50-70 years of age, affecting both sexes equally. The purpose of this study is to assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on the diabetes of type- 2 diabetic subjects in Puducherry population. The reasons for increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in developing countries may include unhealthy lifestyle, rapid westernization food habits, poor knowledge, negative attitude and poor practices are the main reason for type 2 diabetic mellitus. The World Health Organization [W. H. O] has estimated the global number of people with diabetes will be more than double over the next 25 years. Community Based Interactive Approach-diabetes mellitus [CBIA-DM] is an active self-learning method and it is the other way for knowing about the KAP. Almost all high-income countries, diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness and kidney failure. Family history has a major role in the cause of diabetes First-degree relatives of diabetic subject have long been known to have an increased risk of developing T2DM. Recent studies in genetic research have also identified the genetic variants linked with T2DM. A total of 75 patients enrolled for the study age between 30-60 years with 40 male & 35 female. Among the 75 Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, knowledge level was identified as 4% poor, 13.3% average and 82.7 are a good level of knowledge. All 100% participant shows a positive attitude and 8% poor, 17.3% average and 74.7% are good in practice. Several socio-demographic factors play significant roles about knowledge, attitude and practice of diabetes. This study has highlighted even though knowledge level has good among most of the population some more educational intervention is needed to increase their Knowledge, attitude and practice on their disease conduction.
