Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. This condition includes several types, such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, experiences impaired insulin function, or faces a combination of both. As a result, glucose cannot be effectively absorbed by the body’s cells and accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. If this condition persists, the buildup of glucose can cause various disorders in different organs. Without proper management, diabetes may lead to severe and life-threatening complications. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and even failure of vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. In this activity, percentage-based methods and demonstrations of blood glucose testing were used as educational tools for students. The results showed that students’ awareness of the dangers of elevated blood sugar levels remains low. Many of them are still unfamiliar with the importance of regular blood glucose monitoring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent diabetes. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to provide education and outreach on the prevention and early management of diabetes mellitus.

Persistent elevation of blood glucose levels defines diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder that occurs when insulin production is insufficient, diminished sensitivity of insulin receptors, or a combination of both factors. The medicinal properties of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) are attributed to its rich content of bioactive compounds, including gingerol and shogaol, which are considered key contributors to its various therapeutic effects. The effectiveness of red ginger extract in lowering blood glucose levels in experimental mice was evaluated in this study. A true experimental design with a quantitative approach was applied, employing a pretest–posttest control group format. The study involved twelve samples, which were randomly allocated into four separate groups. The treatment phase was conducted over a period of seven days. Findings revealed mean values of 10.4 prior to the intervention and 15.2 afterward, indicating a notable increase. A significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements in group K1 was revealed by the statistical analysis, which yielded a P-value of 0.001 (P < 0.05). It was observed that red ginger extract, given at 100 mg per kilogram of body weight, effectively reduced blood glucose levels in the mice studied..

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasingly prevalent globally, including in remote areas such as Bajo Indah Village in the Soropia District of Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. This community service project aims to monitor blood sugar levels to prevent the onset of diabetes mellitus and facilitate early detection in the region. Obtaining licenses, collaborating with local officials, and preparing medical supplies constituted the employed techniques. The implementation stage involved outreach, interactive counseling, and blood sugar testing with a portable glucometer. Seventy-five individuals participated in the event on July 7, 2025. The findings indicated that 55 individuals (73.3%) exhibited normal blood sugar levels (≤ 140 mg/dL), while 20 individuals (26.7%) presented elevated levels (140–199 mg/dL). The findings indicate that individuals with elevated or diminished blood sugar levels require increased attention. Continuous education and referrals to healthcare facilities for additional treatment can mitigate complications associated with diabetes mellitus.

Type II diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, occurring due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. One of the recommended sports exercises is leg exercises. Diabetic foot exercises are a form of physical exercise for Diabetes Mellitus sufferers of all ages to avoid injuries so that blood circulation in the feet can be facilitated.

The purpose of this writing is to discuss diabetes foot exercises which can reduce blood sugar levels in people with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. The writing method uses a descriptive design with a killing process approach. The written results show a decrease in blood sugar levels after carrying out diabetic foot exercises with results before doing 310 mg/dl and after doing 230 mg/dl.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that is currently a major public health problem in Indonesia. The prevalence of DM continues to increase from year to year, not only in urban areas but also increasingly found in rural areas. One factor contributing to the high number of DM cases is a lack of public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, as well as the continued presence of many undiagnosed cases, resulting in delayed treatment. Therefore, early detection efforts and health education that can reach the community at the community level are needed. This community service program was designed to conduct random blood sugar screenings while increasing the knowledge of residents of RW 15 Kalibaru regarding the prevention and control of DM. The activity was carried out on August 24, 2025, involving 21 participants, most of whom were from adults to the elderly. The activity method consisted of two main stages: checking blood sugar levels using a glucometer and a health education session on a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and the importance of regular physical activity. The results of the activity showed that the indicators of success were well achieved. This was indicated by the orderly implementation of the examinations, a high level of participation from residents, and increased awareness of the dangers of DM among participants. From the examination results, most participants had normal blood sugar levels, but several people were found with blood sugar levels above the normal limit who required medical follow-up.

Diabetes Mellitus is a complication caused by severe disturbances, particularly in the metabolic composition of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the body. The level of patient compliance in taking medication is one of the factors that determine the success of diabetes mellitus therapy. Compliance with treatment plays a crucial role in controlling metabolic conditions, especially in diabetes mellitus patients. The impact of non-compliance with medication in type II diabetes mellitus patients will increase uncontrolled blood sugar levels, which can lead to various complications of organ damage.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that is common in the elderly and has a major impact on quality of life, especially through risk complications such as impaired vision, heart disease, kidney failure, and amputation. The elderly are often unaware of the early symptoms of diabetes because complaints are considered part of the aging process, such as fatigue or frequent urination. The Community Service Program (PKM) at Panti Werdha Hana aims to increase awareness of the elderly about the importance of early detection of diabetes through fasting blood sugar screening activities. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach which includes checking blood sugar levels with the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tool and educational counseling on risk factors and prevention of diabetes. The results showed that out of 76 participants, 8 people (10.53%) were identified as having diabetes, 9 people (11.84%) had prediabetes, and the rest had normal blood sugar levels. Early detection through screening has proven to be an important step in preventing diabetes progression and severe complications, as well as supporting the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly through timely interventions and ongoing education.

Fasting blood sugar screening is a crucial step in the early detection of metabolic risks, including prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This examination is useful for identifying at-risk individuals before clinical symptoms appear. Screening activities are carried out using the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach and the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tool. The examination was carried out on adult participants, followed by education using leaflets containing information about blood glucose control and the importance of physical activity. A total of 62 participants underwent the examination aged 23–76 years. Most participants were women (74.2%). Fasting blood sugar values ranged from 67.0 to 333.0 mg/dL with a median of 90.0 mg/dL. A total of 75.8% were in the normal category, 16.1% were pre-diabetic, and 8.1% were diabetic. Fasting blood sugar screening revealed a proportion of participants with impaired glucose regulation. These results emphasize the importance of early detection and health education, especially about physical activity which plays a role in increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering blood glucose levels. The combination of screening and education can be a preventive strategy to reduce the risk of diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that is increasingly found in the productive age population and can have a major impact on quality of life, especially due to risk complications such as heart disease, nerve disorders, retinopathy, and kidney damage. Early symptoms are often not recognized because they are considered minor complaints, such as fatigue or frequent urination, so many cases are not diagnosed in the early stages. The Community Service Program (PKM) implemented in Grogol Village aims to increase public awareness of the importance of early detection of diabetes through fasting blood sugar screening activities. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, including checking glucose levels with the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tool, as well as counseling on risk factors and prevention of diabetes. Of the 71 participants involved, 19 people (26.76%) were identified as having diabetes, 8 people (11.27%) had prediabetes, and the rest had blood sugar levels within normal limits. These results indicate that early screening is very important to prevent diabetes progression and severe complications, and is a foundation for building public awareness to maintain metabolic health sustainably.

Consumption of sweetened beverages contributes to increased blood glucose levels that lead to the risk of pre-diabetes and type II diabetes mellitus. Fasting blood sugar examination is an early screening tool to detect hidden metabolic disorders and educate the public about the importance of controlling sugar consumption. The examination was conducted through capillary blood sampling and point-of-care testing (POCT) analysis of 91 adult participants. Education was delivered in the form of a leaflet emphasizing the impact of sweetened beverage consumption on glucose regulation and the risk of insulin resistance. The results were classified into three categories: normal, pre-diabetes, and diabetes. The majority of participants (86.8%) were in the normoglycemic category. As many as 9.9% were classified as pre-diabetes and 3.3% were in the diabetes category. The average fasting blood sugar of the participants was 89.5 ± 20.1 mg/dL. These results emphasize the need for counseling regarding limiting the consumption of sweetened beverages to maintain stable blood glucose. Fasting blood sugar examination accompanied by education about sweetened beverages contributes to early detection of the risk of glucose disorders. Interventions based on examination results have the potential to increase awareness of fluid consumption patterns and encourage healthier lifestyle changes.   Keywords: Fasting Blood Sugar, Sugary Drinks, Pre-Diabetes, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Nutrition Education

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease whose prevalence continues to increase due to changes in lifestyle and lack of physical activity, especially in the productive age population. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can cause various serious complications such as nerve, kidney, vision disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Early detection of blood sugar levels is very important to identify risks early and prevent disease progression. The Community Service Program (PKM) implemented at the Asisi Church, Tebet District, aims to increase public awareness of the importance of early detection of diabetes through blood sugar screening activities. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, including capillary blood tests with Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tools and education about risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of diabetes. Of the 68 participants involved, it was found that 10 people (14.7%) had diabetes, 13 people (19.12%) had prediabetes, and 45 people (66.18%) had normal blood sugar levels. These results emphasize the importance of early detection to prevent long-term complications and encourage people to maintain metabolic health in order to improve quality of life sustainably.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by metabolic disorders, characterized by impaired insulin secretion and action, with its prevalence continuously increasing. This study aims to describe blood glucose levels and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Kalibagor Health Center based on respondent characteristics. The method used is descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional design, involving 50 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus selected through total sampling technique. Data were collected through random blood glucose tests, blood pressure measurements, and interviews regarding smoking habits and family history. The results showed that 58% of respondents had high blood glucose levels, while 70% had normal blood pressure. Respondents with a family history of diabetes were more likely to experience high blood glucose levels, while smokers had a higher risk of experiencing high blood pressure. This study also found the influence of age, gender, and family history on blood glucose and blood pressure levels. Therefore, further education on healthy lifestyle and risk factor management is needed to prevent further complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease in the form of a metabolic disorder characterized by blood sugar levels that exceed normal limits. Diabetes Mellitus is known as a silent killer because it is often not realized by the sufferer and when it is known, complications have occurred. The method used in this research is the Quasy Experiment method using a pre-test and post-test approach with control group design. The population in this study was 40 respondents and the sample in this study was 20 respondents who were taken by purposive sampling. And analyzed Univariate and Bivariate using the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests to determine the differences between the two groups on the effect of acupressure therapy. The results showed that the effect of acupressure therapy on reducing blood sugar levels was p-value = 0.005 <0.05 it can be concluded that there is an effect of acupressure therapy on reducing blood sugar levels in Type II DM patients at the Poliklinik Rumah Sakit Umum Imelda Pekerja Indonesia Medan. It is suggested that the results of this study are expected to be information for diabetes mellitus patients to independently carry out acupressure therapy and for the Indonesian Imelda Workers Hospital to include elements of acupressure therapy as study material in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are chronic diseases that are often not detected early due to the lack of public attention to health checks. Both diseases are known as “silent killers” because they often go unnoticed until they cause serious complications. Health screening activities were carried out in Tamparang Keke Village, Mamajang Subdistrict, Makassar City, focusing on blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Of the 27 residents examined, 8 had hypertension, 1 hypotension, and 8 had high blood sugar levels. It is recommended that residents regularly check their health, adopt a healthy diet, and exercise to reduce the risk of complications.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM), known as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia (Ike Prafita & Masnif 2020). The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the effect of physical activity on reducing blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The literature search method uses the google scholar database and hurzing publish or perish (2020-2024) using the keywords “Diabetes Mellitus” AND “Physical Exercise” AND “Blood Glucose Level Decrease”. There were 5 journals that fit the inclusion criteria set. The results of the literature analysis found were published in 2020, 2021, and 2022, the research design used was pre-experimental.

It is hoped that this activity can take place routinely so that risk factors for tuberculosis can be reduced

He primary issue in hyperglycemia is insulin resistance, a condition where the body becomes less responsive to insulin, preventing glucose from being effectively absorbed by cells. One method to address insulin resistance in patients is through physical activities such as exercise. This study aims to analyze the impact of diabetes mellitus exercises on blood glucose levels in patients with hyperglycemia. This study employed a One Group Pretest-Posttest design with a Cross-Sectional approach. The population consisted of all hyperglycemia patients in Dusun Putuk, Banaran Village, Kandangan Subdistrict, Kediri Regency, totaling 50 respondents. The study sample included 44 hyperglycemia patients selected using the Simple Random Sampling method. The independent variable was diabetes mellitus exercises, while the dependent variable was blood glucose levels, measured using a glucose test device. Data processing involved editing, coding, and tabulation. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Test. The results showed that, before the exercises, blood glucose levels (BGL) were low in 9 respondents (20%), moderate in 15 respondents (35%), and high in 20 respondents (45%). After the exercises, BGL were low in 29 respondents (66%), moderate in 10 respondents (23%), and high in 5 respondents (11%). The Wilcoxon Test results indicated a p-value < 0.05, specifically p=0.009, thereby accepting H1. Nurses are encouraged to include diabetes mellitus exercises as part of hyperglycemia management programs, especially to enhance the effectiveness of blood glucose control. Further research with larger sample sizes and extended intervention durations is recommended to strengthen these findings.
