Background: In Peru, no studies have been made to find out the level of knowledge of medical students about type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This information is relevant to ensure adequate preparation to address one of the pathologies with the highest burden of disease in this country. Objectives: To evaluate the level of general knowledge of DM2 in students of the last two years of the medical school of the Peruvian University Cayetano Heredia (FAMED-UPCH) in Lima, Peru. Methodology: Analytical cross-sectional study carried out in students of the last two years of the medical career. A virtual survey was carried out using a previously validated questionnaire to find the level of general knowledge of DM2. In addition, factors associated with the level of knowledge were explored using appropriate hypothesis tests. Results: 127 participants, 58 6th-year and 69 last-year medical students were included. The mean score on the knowledge test was 67.14% and it was the same in both last-year and sixth-year medical students. Association was found between knowledge and living with a person with DM (COEF = 1.01 and p = 0.015) Conclusions: The average score in the questionnaire on DM knowledge was slightly higher than the average score found in other studies with questionnaires similar to the one in the present study. A higher level of knowledge would be associated with living with a person with diabetes mellitus.
