        abstract = {The prevalence of diabetes in India has notably increased, rising from 7.1% in 2009 to 8.9% by 2019. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition marked by high blood sugar levels. After eating, the rise in glucose triggers the pancreas to secrete insulin—a hormone that aids in the absorption of glucose by muscle and fat tissues and supports its breakdown in the liver, thereby helping to maintain normal glucose levels in the bloodstream.
This study set out to evaluate the level of awareness and attitudes among individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, specifically regarding the complications linked to the disease. A structured survey was conducted with 120 patients at Hospital in Ahilyanagar. Results showed that all participants (100%) had a poor level of knowledge, with no one falling into the good or average knowledge categories. Statistical analysis revealed a meaningful correlation between knowledge levels and certain demographic factors, including religion, income level, and dietary practices. These results highlight the critical importance of improving patient education, as most individuals had limited awareness of the complications associated with diabetes.},
