Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus has been known for centuries as a disease related to sweetness. It is a syndrome caused by the imbalance between insulin supply and demand in which the blood glucose level ranges above 120 mg/dl in the fasting blood sugar estimation. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of diabetes education intervention on knowledge on diabetes and health status of the diabetics. The result of this research study revealed that the dissemination of knowledge on diabetes through education intervention had a positive impact on their knowledge on diabetes, health status such as Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood glucose and blood pressure levels of the Diabetics. It is proved that a well planned diabetes education can bring about a change in their knowledge, attitude and practices. It may increase the effectiveness of diabetes therapy and will delay the onset or the progression of complications, improve the length and quality of life for Diabetic patients and reduce the associated medical cost.
