The evaluation was carried out with a pre-post test of health education activities and conducting a survey of 70% of the total targets to determine the success of community service activities. The results of community service activities show the level of success with an indication of a match between blood sugar checks, health education about diabetes mellitus and the needs of the elderly in Kalijaga Village, East Lombok Regency.
