Abstract

Seniors with Diabetes Mellitus need ongoing care to prevent complications and improve quality of life. However, limited access to health services and a lack of family understanding of diabetes mellitus care are often the main obstacles. This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of families to care for elderly individuals with diabetes mellitus at home through community-based education and mentoring. Activities are carried out in the form of counseling, independent blood sugar monitoring training, preparing healthy menus, and managing medication and physical activity. The results of the activity showed an increase in family knowledge and skills in conducting independent care. It is hoped that this activity can be sustainable with the support of health cadres and village officials.
