The rapidly increasing number of incidences, severity, its complication, and the socio-economic burden greatly demonstrate the need and importance of the preventive action for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been become important to emphasize the call for the primary prevention. Objectives of the study is to assess the awareness of cause complication and prevention of about type 2 diabetes mellitus among young adults, to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of a counselling program regarding causes, complication and prevention for the primary prevention of type 2 Diabetes mellitus, and to find the relationship between socio-demographical variables and level of awareness on diabetes mellitus. For this study an evaluative approach was considered. The pre-experimental design consists of pre-test and post-test observation made on different days with only one selected group and without a control group. The overall mean awareness score present in pre-test is 46.1 and the post-test 82.2% and there was enhancement of knowledge score found to be 36.4%. Therefore, it was established that there was significant increase in the awareness level after the counselling program. From this study it was found that demographic variables like educational status, family income, age group has impact on the knowledge of the respondent. The present study has demonstrated that counselling program is sufficiently effective and viable for achievement of the goal for primary prevention of Diabetes Mellitus in ordinary community
