Diabetes is a group of diseases that result in increased sugar in the blood. There are different types of diabetes ( type 1, type 2 etc ). In this era, the current generation of teenagers and adolescents are facing problems with diabetes and their related disorders. Still there is no proper awareness on the associated problems of diabetes among teenagers, many of them are not aware of it. The aim of this study is to create awareness of diabetes and its related complications.This study is an online survey conducted among adolescents using pre pre-prepared questionnaires. The questionnaire consisted of 12 - 15 questions and was circulated among adolescent participants. The sample size of this study is 100. 97- 98 % of participants were aware of what diabetes was and also about its related disorders. The participants also have very good knowledge about diabetes and its related disorders. More research and studies must be further continued on this topic as it is turning out to be a very common problem and millions of people are affected by this.
