Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a disease in which blood sugar levels in the body are quite high, so the body cannot produce or use insulin, so blood sugar cannot be metabolized and this disease can affect anyone. Emergency cases of Diabetes Mellitus have the potential to attack teenagers who currently have consumptive habits so that they tend to consume various types of food without following a healthy lifestyle. Objective: The purpose of this study is to conduct a survey and analyze the risk factors for diabetes in teenagers. Methods: This type of quantitative research uses a cross-sectional design. This study will be conducted at MA Ibnul Qoyyim. The population in this study is all students at MA Ibnul Qoyyim. The sampling technique uses total sampling. The instruments in this study are a glucotest tool and a diabetes risk factor questionnaire. Data analysis in this study uses the Kendal tau test. Results: The results of the study showed that all respondents (100%) had a high-sugar food consumption pattern, with low physical activity (81.81%). The majority of respondents' nutritional status is in the normal category (72.72%) and have no family history of diabetes (90.01%). Conclusion: The analysis concluded that there was a significant association between consumption patterns, physical activity, nutritional status, and family history, with adolescent blood sugar levels. This suggests that lifestyle factors are dominant and can be modified to prevent diabetes from a young age.
