The behavior is divided into three domains. They are knowledge, attitude, and action. Objective: This research was an analytic descriptive research with cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 50 respondents. They were diabetes mellitus patients having blood glucose level checking in Internist Polyclinic in Rumah Sakit Islam Jakarta (Jakarta Islamic Hospital). Knowledge about nutrition was measured based on indicator of diabetes disease definition, principle, and dietary restriction, food supplement, and activity or exercise; the level of attitude was measured based on diabetes checking indicator, activity/exercise, diet awareness, food ingredients and the amount of portion; level of action was measured based on indicator of food/drink selection, eating habit, eating schedule, activity/exercise, and food supplement. One Way Anova test was applied in order to answer research question. Results: There were 12 respondents (24%) lacking of knowledge about nutrition, 14 respondents (28%) not having really good attitude, 8 respondents (16%) having less action. On the average blood glucose was different according to knowledge level (F = 4.448; p = 0.017), attitude (F = 3.930; p = 0.026) and action (F = 3.427; p = 0.041). Conclusion: There is significant difference in blood glucose level based on knowledge about nutrition, attitude, and behavior to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Rumah Sakit Islam Jakarta (Jakarta Islamic Hospital). Research about the effect of counselling about nutrition on patients' behavior is needed so that the success of dietitien can be recognized.
