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.

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.

Obesity, central obesity, and hypercholesterolemia are prevalent yet often unrecognized health conditions that significantly elevate the risk for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders. These conditions, when left undiagnosed and untreated, contribute to the growing public health burden worldwide. This community service program was designed to raise awareness and provide early detection of these conditions through basic health screening measures, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and blood cholesterol levels. The program was implemented in Tomang Subdistrict, West Jakarta, where 90 participants were involved. The findings from the screening revealed concerning results: 67% of the participants were classified as obese, and 58% had central obesity, both of which are major risk factors for NCDs. A deeper analysis of lifestyle factors highlighted that high-fat diets, sedentary behaviors, and night shift work were significant contributors to the high rates of obesity and metabolic abnormalities observed. The educational outreach component of the program, which included the provision of information about healthy diets, exercise, and the importance of regular health screenings, proved to be effective in raising awareness about these health issues. Moreover, the simple health screening process was well-received by the community and contributed to a greater understanding of individual health risks. This initiative is expected to serve as a sustainable model for promoting health and preventing metabolic diseases in the community. The findings underscore the importance of early detection and education as critical strategies in the fight against obesity and related NCDs, suggesting that such programs can play a key role in reducing the future burden of chronic diseases in underserved populations

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 is a metabolic disease caused by problems in the body in producing insulin, insulin produced is lacking or nonexistent, or it can be due to the insulin receptor not functioning so that cells cannot receive glucose for metabolism (Black, M. J. & Hawks, 2014; Pranata, S & Khasanah, 2017). Diabetic wounds are caused by infection as a result of high blood glucose, thereby increasing bacterial proliferation, and added to the deficiency of the immune system which causes the wound inflammation period to last a long time. In addition, inappropriate treatment of diabetic wounds (ulcers) can worsen the condition of the wound (Ekaputra, 2013). Therefore, proper and optimal wound care is needed. The wound care method that is currently developing is moist wound healing, which is more effective than conventional methods because it is easy to install, can adjust to the shape of the wound, easy to remove, comfortable to wear, does not need to change dressings frequently, absorbs drainage, presses and immobilizes wounds, prevents new wounds from mechanical injury, prevents infection, improves hemostasis by pressing the dressing. Wound care procedures through Debridement and dressing. Wound debridement can accelerate healing by removing necrotic tissue, particulates, or foreign material, and reducing the bacterial load. The conventional method is to use a scalpel and cut away all unwanted tissue including callus and eschar. Saline-moistened (wet-to-dry) gauze dressings; moisture-retaining dressings (hydrogels, hydrocolloids, hydrofibers, transparent films and alginates) that provide physical and autolytic debridement respectively; and antiseptic dressings (silver dressings, cadexomer). Newer advanced dressings are being studied, such as Vulnamin gel made from amino acids and hyaluronic acid used in conjunction with elastic compression have shown positive results.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) can cause serious complications, including impaired peripheral tissue perfusion that risks diabetic ulcers and amputation. The Self-Directed Learning (SDL) approach is an effective self-education strategy in improving the understanding and skills of DM patients in preventing these complications. This community service program aims to improve the understanding and skills of lower extremity care in DM patients through education and hands-on training. Activities include counseling, foot self-examination, and proper foot care practices. Evaluation results showed significant improvement in participants' understanding of diabetic ulcer prevention, awareness in maintaining blood sugar levels, and selection of appropriate footwear. In addition, skills in foot self-examination, proper nail trimming, and moisturizer application also improved. The SDL approach proved effective in increasing participants' engagement in the learning process, so they were more motivated to apply the knowledge gained in their daily lives. This program indicates that SDL-based education can be an effective strategy in improving the foot health of people with DM and preventing serious complications.

Elderly people have a high risk of suffering from degenerative diseases, one of which is metabolic disorders. This is more widely recognized by the elderly when they are already in severe condition and with complications so that it has an impact on various aspects including increasing morbidity and mortality rates, as well as decreasing quality of life of the elderly and decreasing ability of the elderly to carry out daily activities. Metabolic disorders are caused by increased blood glucose levels in the body known as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) which is one of the health problems of the ten diseases that cause death and disability globally. The implementation of community service activities for Preventive Efforts for the Elderly in Diabetes Mellitus through several stages, namely the survey and field observation stages and counseling for Preventive Efforts for the Elderly in Diabetes Mellitus counseling is carried out for approximately 90 minutes, as well as evaluations in the form of pre-tests and post-tests. The provision of education was carried out on Wednesday, November 14, 2024 at the Antara Health Center, the number of participants was 32 people. Based on the results of the knowledge of the elderly before and after the counseling for Preventive Efforts for the Elderly in Diabetes Mellitus, it was found that 15 elderly people had sufficient knowledge and 17 elderly people had insufficient knowledge. After conducting counseling on Preventive Efforts for the Elderly in Diabetes Mellitus, the results obtained were a sufficient increase of 30 and less than 2 elderly. This means that community service on Preventive Efforts for the Elderly in Diabetes Mellitus is very effective in the elderly in order to prevent an increase in glucose levels. Counseling on preventive efforts for the elderly in diabetes regarding these degenerative diseases is very necessary so that the elderly maintain their health better. The elderly are expected to be able to understand about efforts to prevent and treat degenerative diseases in the elderly with diabetes. Hopefully this community service can be a reference for researchers and further community service, as well as the community.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic heterogeneous metabolic disorder with complex pathogenesis. It is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia, which results from abnormalities in either insulin secretion or insulin action or both. Prevention of diabetic foot ulcers  is to empower families to take care for family members with diabetes. The results of the pre-test obtained showed that family knowledge was in the good category of 55.6%. After education was carried out on the role of families in caring for diabetic patients, especially preventing diabetic foot ulcers, the results showed that there was an increase in family knowledge of 70.4%. Families empowered to carry out their roles by helping families with diabetes to meet their diet, motivating them to do physical activity and supporting them to carry out routine health checks. The conclusion of this community service activity is that family empowerment is very useful for preventing diabetic foot ulcers.

The incidence of diabetes continues to increase worldwide. The state of hyperglycemia during pregnancy can trigger oxidative stress which can result in hypoxic conditions in the tissues characterized by an increase in HIF-1α. Basil which contains antioxidants is expected to reduce the expression of HIF-1α. This study aims to determine the effect of the administration of basil on the expression of HIF-1α in gestational diabetes mellitus model rats. To determine the effect of the administration of basil extract (Ocimum basilicum) on the expression of HIF-1α in gestational diabetes mellitus model rats. This research is experimental research conducted using the post test only control group design method. The research sample used biological material stored from rat RNA that had been induced by streptozotocin 40 mg/kgBB as an animal model of DMG in humans stored in the Biomedical Lab, FK Unand. The results of this study indicate the effect of the administration of basil extract (Ocimum basilicum) on the expression of HIF-1α in gestational diabetes mellitus model rats. Researchers used conventional PCR tools and still manually used ImageJ to look for HIF-1α expression values from electrophoresis results, so the possibility of bias still exists.

The hydrogel's optimum hydration ability can lyse slough and necrotic tissue (autolytic debridement ability). This study aims to determine the description of diabetic wound care using hydrogel as a modern dressing in the development of BWAT scores. The research design uses a case study method and consisting of 2 samples with grade II-III diabetic ulcers at Pedis Care Malang. The results of the study on subject I obtained the BWAT score on the first treatment was 33 and on the sixth day of treatment was 26, in subject II the first treatment was 37 and on the sixth day of treatment was 25, showed a decrease in the BWAT score, which means that diabetic ulcer healing progressed. The healing process of diabetic ulcer wounds is also influenced by the nutrients that enter the body, one of which is protein which plays a role in cell formation. The researcher's advice for both subjects is that they are expected to be able to maintain wound moisture with sustainable modern dressings until the wound is declared healed and increase nutrition as a supporting factor for wound healing.

Degenerative diseases are chronic diseases that affect a person's quality of life. There are various degenerative diseases that should be treated as early as possible, such as diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, heart stroke and other degenerative diseases. Indonesia bears a double burden of disease in the health sector, namely infectious diseases are still rampant and coupled with chronic degenerative diseases. Efforts to promote health are very important in efforts to prevent degenerative diseases in adolescence. This health promotion is carried out in adolescents because of the unhealthy lifestyle of adolescents, this can be seen from the smoking habits of adolescents and the habit of eating unhealthy foods or snacks carelessly, lack of consumption of vegetables and fruits, and minimal physical activity such as sports in efforts to prevent degenerative diseases in adolescents. The purpose of this activity is to increase knowledge about the prevention of degenerative diseases among adolescents and as an effort to overcome the problem of the emergence of degenerative diseases in adolescence. The results of community service activities show an increase in average knowledge from 6.61 to 13.80 and an increase in attitudes from 9.61 to 14.47. Community service activities can be carried out well, this is seen from the smooth running of the event and the participation of teenagers. Improving the quality of health needs to be done by raising awareness and increasing education for teenagers about preventing degenerative diseases.

The main problems that often occur in people with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are stress and an increase in blood sugar. Uncontrolled stress for a long time can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels, which can lead to various complications. One of the physical activities that can be done with relaxation is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is an intervention that can be done in people with diabetes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on increasing stress and blood sugar levels. The research design used a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-post-test control group design approach. The sample consisted of 36 respondents who were divided into 18 intervention groups and 18 control groups. The group was given a therapeutic intervention for 1 week with a duration of 2 times a day, namely in the morning and afternoon for 10-15 minutes. The instruments used are a glucometer, blood sugar level observation sheet, and Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) questionnaire. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test and Paired t-test to see pair data. Then for the research group, the data used the Man-Whitney Test. The results showed that there was a significant effect on decreasing blood pressure (p=0.013) and that there was an effect on decreasing blood sugar levels (p=0.034). Conclusion: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) affects reducing stress and blood sugar levels in Type 2 DM patients.
