Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin and is characterized by hyperglycemia. Tests to diagnose diabetes include fasting blood sugar (FBS), random blood sugar (RBS) , blood sugar 2 hours after eating (GD2PP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). Purple sweet potato is a non-pharmacological therapy that has a high fiber content, low glycemic index carbohydrates. Dietary foods containing antioxidants, including anthocyanins, can protect pancreatic β-cells from glucose-induced oxidative stress. Administration of purple sweet potato extract can protect pancreatic β-cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. Study shows that purple sweet potato have different glucose level according to how the sweet potato being processed which is  boiled, steamed, grilled and fried purple sweet potato, namely 3.30%, 4.92%, 7.72%, and 7.36%, respectively. So it can be concluded that the lowest glucose content was obtained from the boiled purple sweet potato sample. Anthocyanins that found in purple sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas poiret) contain substances  that can control blood sugar levels, thus preventing insulin resistance in people with diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this program for the resident of Kavling Senjulung RT 02 RW 09 is to know  about non-pharmacological prevention of diabetes and start applying it to control blood sugar for people with diabetes mellitus. The implementation method was carried out by providing education related to purple sweet potato processing and demonstrating how to process it and perform medical examination including  blood pressure and random blood sugar (RBS) .  

Anxiety is felt most acutely in vulnerable and high-risk populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely pregnant women.

Anxiety is the most common feeling experienced by pediatric patients who experience hospitalization, anxiety that is often felt by children such as crying, fear of the environment and new people. The number of stressors experienced by children when undergoing hospitalization can have a negative impact on the child's development. This aim is to determine the effect of coloring play therapy on the anxiety level of preschool-aged children who experience hospitalization at the Banda Aceh Mother and Child Hospital. This study used a quantitative research design with a sample size approach of 5 respondents. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data collection instruments were carried out before and after carrying out coloring play therapy using observation sheets with a percentage calculation assessment scale. The results showed that before being given coloring play therapy, there were 2 respondents who experienced moderate anxiety (40%) and 3 child respondents who experienced severe anxiety (60%). And after being given coloring play therapy there were 4 child respondents who experienced mild anxiety (80%) and 1 person who was in the moderate category (20%). It is suggested that the results of this study can be used as a reference for coloring play therapy in preschool-age child patients who experience hospitalization anxiety in the children's room at the Banda Aceh mother and child hospital in 2021.
