Without modifications in one‟s lifestyle, diabetes could lead to several complications. This study aims to determine the attitude of Type II Diabetes patients in terms of dietary modification, medication and physical activity and their compliance lifestyle. In order to conduct the research, the researchers used a survey research using questionnaires. The target respondents set by the researchers are the patients of the De La Salle University Medical Center (DLSUMC) with a maximum of 30 respondents.

The questionnaire is divided into three categories: medication, dietary medication, and physical activity.
