Summary
The goal of this Educational interventional study is to test the usefulness of an educational program delivered through WhatsApp videos in increasing oral health knowledge and habits in people with Diabetes between the age of 18 and 65 years. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a WhatsApp-based educational Program improve oral health knowledge and behaviors in people with diabetes, and is it more effective than education delivered through brochures? Participants in one group will receive educational videos through WhatsApp, while the other group receive a brochure containing oral health information. Researchers will then compare the groups to see if the intervention made a difference. Participants will: * Fill a baseline questionnaire to assess their current knowledge and behaviors. * They then either participate in a one-month educational program delivered through WhatsApp, or receive an educational brochure. * Wait for 1 month after the program to allow for application of knowledge. * Fill a post intervention questionnaire to assess changes in knowledge and behavior.
