INTRODUCTION

Diabetes, also known by doctors as diabetes mellitus, in which the

person has high blood glucose, either because insulin production is

inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to

insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience

frequent urination, they will become very thirsty and hungry. Nowadays,

we can see that lots of young adults diagnosed with diabetes. So, we

chose diabetes as our topic because we would like to find out how well

do adults aged between 21-25 and 26-30 know about diabetes. There are

16 questions in our survey form. Through the survey form we can

analyse and determine the understanding level of young adults aged 21

to 25 and adults aged 26 to 30 on one of the common chronic disease in

Malaysia.

OBJECTIVES

Nowadays, diabetes is very common. Especially adults, most of the

adults now are diagnosed with diabetes. It is very disturbing that a young

adult have such disease. It could troubles his daily life as he or she may

need constant insulin injection or proper care. Diabetes is a chronic

disease. You can’t get rid of it. However, it can be delayed and prevent.

Therefore, knowledge and education of diabetes is very important to the

adults now. So we decided to use men as or target analysis. Analysis on

men between age 21-25 and 26-30 is considered for different purposes.

The main objective of this survey is to compare their understanding level

on diabetes between the age 21-25 and 26-30.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the major purpose of our survey is to gather and

integrate all the information into a complete table and compare the

understanding level on diabetes between the male with the age of 21-25

and 26-30. Through the histogram that show participants (100 male with

the age of 21-25 and 100 male with the age of 26-30), we find out that

63% of male with the age 26-30 have basic diabetes knowledge than

male with the age 21-25 which is 44% only. Other than that, 55% of

male from age group 26-30 known the normal glucose level which is 70-

99 mg/dl and it is higher than the male from the age group of 21-25,

which is 39%. Besides, 56% of male from age group of 26-30 know that

diabetes cannot be cured whereas only 26% of male from group 21-25

answer it correctly. On the other hand, 66% of male from group 26-30

comprehend that smoking will causes diabetes, however only 24% of

male from group of 21-25 have the same idea. Lastly, from the overall

survey, we can conclude that male from the age group of 26-30 have a

better understanding on diabetes than the male of age group 21-25.
