Latar Belakang: Diabetes melitus tipe 2 merupakan penyakit kronis dengan prevalensi tinggi yang membutuhkan pengelolaan jangka panjang. Salah satu tantangan utama adalah rendahnya health literacy yang berdampak pada ketidakpatuhan pengobatan dan peningkatan risiko komplikasi. Pemanfaatan mobile health berbasis website menjadi solusi karena mudah diakses, kompatibel lintas perangkat dan efektif sebagai edukasi kesehatan. Dikembangkan media MEGADIA sebagai intervensi digital edukatif guna meningkatkan health literacy penderita diabetes secara lebih inklusif dan berkelanjutan. Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan mobile health berbasis website (m-Hweb) MEGADIA terhadap tingkat health literacy pada penderita diabetes melitus tipe 2 Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif quasi eksperimental pretest-posttest control group design yang dilakukan pada 76 responden dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, intervensi dan kontrol (masing-masing 38 responden). Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah Diabetic Health literacy Scale (DHLS). Intervensi diberikan selama 2 minggu dengan durasi penggunaan perhari 10-20 menit. Analisis yang digunakan deskritif dan uji Mann Whitney . Hasil: Nilai nilai median (min-max) health literacy pada kelompok intervensi sebesar 7,00 (-2,00 - 21,00) dan kelompok kontrol sebesar 2,00 (-19,00 - 14,00). Nilai p-value menunjukkan 0,001 (< 0>health literacy. Kesimpulan: Penggunaan mobile health berbasis website MEGADIA memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap tingkat health literacy pada penderita Diabetes melitus tipe 2.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus was a chronic disease with a high prevalence that required long-term management. One of the main challenges was the low level of health literacy, which affected treatment adherence and increased the risk of complications. The use of website-based mobile health (m-Health) was considered a solution because it was easily accessible, cross-device compatible, and effective for delivering health education. MEGADIA was developed as a digital educational intervention to improve the health literacy of people with diabetes mellitus in a more inclusive and sustainable manner. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of using a website-based mobile health (m-Hweb) application, MEGADIA, on the health literacy level of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus Method: This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental method with a pretest posttest control group design. A total of 76 respondents were involved, divided equally into intervention and control groups (38 respondents each). The measurement tool used was the Diabetic Health literacy Scale (DHLS). The intervention was conducted over two weeks with a daily usage duration of 10–20 minutes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The median (min–max) health literacy score in the intervention group was 7.00 (-2.00 to 21.00), while the control group had a score of 2.00 (-19.00 to 14.00). The p-value was 0.001 (< 0>
