<p><strong>Background</strong>: Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels that can progress to emergencies such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), both of which carry a high risk of mortality if not promptly treated. A lack of family knowledge in recognizing the signs and symptoms of hyperglycemic emergencies is one of the contributing factors to delayed treatment. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education on family knowledge regarding the prevention of hyperglycemic emergencies. <strong>Methods</strong>: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted of 133 family members of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Pekauman Primary Health Center, Banjarmasin. A total of 57 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a knowledge questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. <strong>Results</strong>: The findings showed an increase in family knowledge after the health education intervention. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed a p-value of 0.001 (p &lt; 0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on improving family knowledge in preventing hyperglycemic emergencies. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Health education is effective in enhancing family knowledge, enabling them to be better prepared to handle hyperglycemic emergency situations in patients with diabetes mellitus.</p>
