Exploratory Study of the Awareness on Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes is a steadily growing problem in Malaysia and the increase of diabetic’s patients in Malaysia is worrisome. The cause of diabetes is a mystery, although both genetics and environment appear to play roles. Therefore, this study aimed to test Diabetes Mellitus Awareness Model (DMAM) that cons...

The cause of diabetes is a mystery, although both genetics and environment appear to play roles.

The result shows that knowledge has a significant impact on environment, attitude and awareness.

However, the study also found that there was no significant relationship between knowledge towards symptoms, environments towards awareness and symptom, attitude towards symptoms and symptoms towards awareness. Overall, this study concludes that the relationships that are statistically significant should be taken due care by the health authorities in order to raise diabetes awareness through indicator in the model.
