Family support plays a crucial role in the prevention and management of diabetes mellitus, helping to minimize complications associated with the condition.

The population was 555 Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients. The sample was 98 respondents chosen using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection was conducted from February 20 to April 30, 2025, using univariate and bivariate data analysis. The result shows that family support p value=0,010 (p<0.05), informational support (p=0,016), emotional support (p=0,008), appreciation support (p=0,031) with the compliance of self-care activity, but instrumental support (p=0,111) does not show any significant correlation on self-care activity on type II DM patients in Baiturrahman Public Health Center, Banda Aceh.
