背景：像加勒比許多其他發展中國家一樣，聖盧西亞島與其公民之間的二型糖尿病（T2DM）管理鬥爭。與T2DM相關的問題仍然是一個令人擔憂的問題，因為它造成許多疾病和死亡。在聖盧西亞島，飲食和生活方式相關的非傳染性疾病如高血壓和糖尿病頻發。
方法：在2016年10月1日至2016年10月31日期間，設計了一個自我管理問卷，以收集聖盧西亞島周圍十（10）個地區參與者的必要信息。數據由經過認證的統計員助理使用Microsoft®Excel 2013分析，然後導出到社會科學統計軟件（SPSS）軟件版本21進行統計分析。
結果：總共314人參加了完整的問卷調查，回复率達78.5％。結果表明，普通人群適度地了解慢性非傳染性疾病的危及生命的並發症。結果還顯示，婦女人數分別為70.4％至29.6％。知識水平與受訪者態度水平之間存在顯著正相關（r = 0.233，p <0.001）和（r = .201，p <0.001）。
結論：聖盧西亞人口生活習慣的知識和態度水平普遍較高。然而，大多數參與者對健康的生活習慣習慣不佳。
關鍵詞：態度，DM，糖尿病，KAP，知識，生活方式，實踐，調查。

Background: Like many other developing nations in the Caribbean, the island of Saint Lucia struggles with the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among its citizenry. The problems associated with T2DM continue to be a worrisome issue as it accounts for many illnesses and deaths. On the island of Saint Lucia, there is a high frequency of diet and lifestyle related non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes.
Methods: During the period October 1, 2016, to October 31, 2016, a self-administered questionnaire was designed to collect required information from participants within ten (10) districts around the island, Saint Lucia. The data was analyzed by a certified Statistician Assistant using Microsoft® Excel 2013 and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21 to perform a statistical analysis.
Results: Overall, 314 participants returned fully completed questionnaires, yielding a response rate of 78.5%. The results indicated the general population was moderately aware of the life-threatening complications of the chronic non-communicable disease. Results also indicated that women outnumbered men 70.4% to 29.6% respectively. There was a significant positive correlation (r= 0.233, p<0.001) and (r=.201, p<0.001) between the knowledge level as well as the attitude level of respondents in this study.
Conclusion: The knowledge and attitude levels of lifestyle modifications among the population of Saint Lucia were generally high. Yet, the majority of the participants had poor practices toward healthy lifestyle habits.
