The research phase consisted of situation analysis, data collection, product design, expert validation, product revision, product tryout and final revision. Expert validation is carried out by android application experts and material experts. The try-out was conducted at Janti Health Center in Malang City on subjects aged 45-54 years in June 2019. A small group try-out was conducted on 10 subjects who did not suffer from type 2 DM. The large group try-out in subjects with type 2 DM involved 30 people. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Data analysis involved descriptive quantitative in the form of percentages.
