Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the major non-communicable diseases with an increasing prevalence among the elderly, thus requiring promotive and preventive efforts through health education and early detection. Objective: This community service activity was conducted to improve the geriatric population's knowledge and awareness of diabetes prevention and to assess their glycemic status through random blood glucose (RBG) examination. Method: The program was carried out on 14 November 2025 at RSUD dr. Gunawan Mangunkusumo and involved 30 participants. The activities included RBG measurement, interactive lecture-based health education, the use of visual educational media, and knowledge evaluation through pre-test and post-test assessments. Result: The RBG examination showed that 22 participants (73.33%) were within the normal category, 1 participant (3.33%) was in the pre-diabetes category, and 7 participants (23.33%) were categorized as diabetes. The knowledge evaluation demonstrated a significant improvement, as indicated by an increase in participants with good knowledge from 46.6% to 80% after the educational intervention. The mean knowledge score increased from 69.67 to 89.00, and the paired t-test indicated a significant difference (p< 0.001). Conclusion: These findings show that the combination of health education and RBG examination is effective in improving health literacy and risk awareness among the geriatric population. The program contributes to promotive and preventive efforts and is recommended to be continued with follow-up for participants who are at higher glycemic risk.
