The population in this study was 1.219 people and the research sample was 301 respondents. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The design of univariate analysis and bivariate analysis was performed with the chi-square test. Results: The results of this study found that the variable that was statistically meaningful to DM prevention behavior was the knowledge variable (p=0,020), and the variable that was not related to DM prevention behavior was the attitude variable (p=0,384).
