摘要：Diabetes mellitus has reached the early stages of a pandemic in India and is estimated to reach upto 440 million by 2030. It can be caused due to several genetic and environmental factors and has been linked with neuropathy and myocardial infarction. Its high prevalence in India calls for the need for finding the awareness of the disease and its complication in the country. Materials and methods: We created a questionnaire on an online setting, consisting of 11 questions and we sent the questionnaire to 100 people and this questionnaire covered a large variety of questions. Upon conducting the survey, we collected the data and was analysed through SPSS statistics software and descriptive analysis was used to create pie charts and comparative charts. Result: It was found that 84% of the respondents were aware of the complications of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus causes several complications, some of which are kidney complications which 28% of the respondents were aware of and a similar percentage were aware of eyes getting affected, 22% were aware of infections while the remaining 22% were not aware of the complications. Conclusion: It was found that while men have higher awareness about the symptoms, women had more awareness of the dangers of diabetes mellitus and in general there was awareness but it was not explicitly high. To achieve high levels of awareness concerted efforts must be made to spread awareness of these diseases and means of how it must be prevented.
