Data was collected using a questionnaire to measure knowledge about diabetes and physical activity levels. <strong>Results:</strong> The results showed that most adolescents had a fair understanding of diabetes, but many still lacked adequate knowledge. The overall level of physical activity among adolescents was still low, especially among females and 18-year-olds. <strong>Discussion:</strong> The low level of physical activity and inadequate knowledge about diabetes among adolescents is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately. Factors such as gender, age, grade, and domicile can influence the level of knowledge and physical activity of adolescents. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: This study highlights the importance of improving adolescents' knowledge about diabetes and encouraging them to be more physically active. School-based interventions involving parents and utilizing digital technology can be effective solutions to achieve this goal.</em></p> Norbertus Marcell Prayogi Agyta Hanifa Faiza Azizah Qayla Asmarani Ahmad Raffi Yustian Aswa Arsa Kumala Savina Rifky Pratiwi Muhammad Rais Shiddiq Hana Nadya Khaerunisa Muhammad Hanif Muthahhari Ridwan Iffah Cindy ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-03-10 2025-03-10 11 3 1 11 10.53366/jimki.v11i3.820
