ABSTRACT
Diabetes is a chronic disease whose prevalence continues to increase among adolescents and university students due to unhealthy lifestyles, high sugar intake, lack of physical activity, and academic stress. To address this issue, the psychoeducation program “Don’t Let Sugar Rule You: Recognize the Dangers and Prevention of Diabetes from a Young Age!” was implemented at the Linnaaw Student Center to enhance health literacy and awareness of diabetes risks among youth. The program included educational sessions, interactive discussions, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)-based worksheets designed to help participants identify risky behaviors and develop plans for healthier lifestyle changes. Program effectiveness was assessed through a post-test, which showed that 66.7% of participants answered all questions correctly, indicating a significant increase in understanding. Observational data and participant reflections also demonstrated active engagement in recognizing personal habits and strengthening preventive behaviors. Overall, the program successfully improved participants’ knowledge, awareness, and motivation to adopt healthier lifestyle practices to prevent diabetes early in life.
