Pemeriksaan ini perlu dilakukan untuk mengetahui kadar gula darah dalam tubuh apakah dalam batas normal, kurang, atau melebihi batas normal dan sebagai deteksi dini penyakit DM. Guna mengatasi masalah tersebut dilakukan kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat dengan tujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat Desa Kolam mengenai penyakit DM melalui edukasi, penyuluhan kesehatan, dan pemeriksaan gula darah sewaktu. Metode yang digunakan dalam edukasi dan penyuluhan adalah ceramah dan diskusi, serta untuk melihat tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat dilakukan pre test dan post test dengan memberikan kuesioner berisi pertanyaan terkait DM sesuai dengan materi yang akan dipaparkan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Paired T Test pada program SPSS. Pemeriksaan gula darah acak dilakukan menggunakan glucometer. Kegiatan ini dilakukan terhadap masyarakat, dibantu oleh kader posyandu dan pihak terkait di wilayah Dusun I Desa Kolam, Kecamatan Percut Sei Tuan.Hasil kegiatan ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan peserta tentang penyakit DM tipe 2, gejala/ tanda, pencegahan, faktor risiko, pola hidup sehat, komplikasi yang ditimbulkan apabila kadar gula darah tidak terkontrol, dan kepatuhan dalam minum obat.
