ABSTRACT Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that requires self-care to control blood glucose levels and prevent complications. Lack of knowledge can hinder self-care abilities, making website-based health education necessary. This final project aimed to determine the application of digital education to improve self-care independence among patients with Diabetes Mellitus at Payung Sekaki Public Health Center, Pekanbaru. The method used was a case study involving two patients through the nursing care process, with data collected through interviews, observation, physical examination, blood glucose testing, and documentation. Education was provided on diet, physical activity, medication, blood glucose monitoring, and foot care. The results showed an improvement in patients’ knowledge and self-care abilities after receiving digital education. It can be concluded that website-based education can improve knowledge and self-care independence among patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
