This community service study documents and analyzes a blood glucose screening program conducted by theology students of STT Kadesi–Bogor at the Pentecostal Church (Gereja Pantekosta Jakarta/GPJ) in West Jakarta from February to April 2026. A total of 80 examinations were performed over three consecutive months using the Accu-Check glucometer. Results revealed that 1 participant (1.25%) was classified as diabetic (random blood glucose/RBG ≥200 mg/dL) and 19 participants (23.75%) were classified as pre-diabetic or at elevated risk (RBG 126–199 mg/dL), bringing the total at-risk proportion to 25%. The mean participant age was 52.7 years (range: 21–82 years). Women constituted 78.75% of all participants and accounted for 70% of at-risk cases, while men showed a proportionally higher per-capita risk rate (35.3% vs. 22.2%). Five female participants recorded borderline-low glucose levels (70–75 mg/dL), indicating potential nutritional inadequacy. This study contextualizes its findings within biblical theology—particularly 1 Corinthians 3:16, which declares the human body to be the temple of the Holy Spirit—providing a theological imperative for holistic health stewardship. Practical recommendations include adoption of a balanced diet, engagement in regular physical activity, and periodic blood glucose monitoring as expressions of faithful bodily stewardship.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the global, national, and regional health problems. DM often requires complex medications and lifestyle management that can impact patients’ daily life, including spiritual practices such as fasting during Ramadhan. For Muslims with DM, fasting during Ramadhan can be challenging due to the need to modify the treatment regimens and risk of hypoglycemia.  This study aimed to analyze the effects of education intervention regarding Ramadhan fasting on knowledge improvement and blood glucose of patient with DM type 2. This study used a case study design involving three patients with DM type 2. All three respondents received education from the researchers. The patients’ knowledge and fasting blood glucose were measured before and after the intervention. The results of this study showed an improvement in knowledge in DM patients after the intervention, while fasting blood sugar results remained unchanged. Based on the results of the study, diabetes mellitus (DM) management education during fasting has been potentially effective in improving respondents' knowledge and prevent hypoglycemia during Ramadhan fasting. In conclusion, education alone is benefit in increasing patient’s knowledge and may prevent hypoglycemia during Ramadhan fasting.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus has now become a widespread health issue with serious implications for public health. In an effort to support non-pharmacological management, the use of aloe vera (Aloe vera) decoction is one option being considered, given that this plant contains bioactive components such as aloin, emodin, and polysaccharides that have the potential to help lower blood glucose levels. This study aims to examine the effect of consuming aloe vera (Aloe vera) decoction on lowering blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Lampaseh Lhok Village, Montasik Subdistrict, Aceh Besar. The research was conducted from June 19 to 28, 2025, in that area. The study design employed a quantitative research approach using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. The study population consisted of 38 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while the sample comprised 15 respondents. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling. The measurement tools included a glucometer and an observation sheet. Based on the data analysis results, a decrease in blood glucose levels was observed after the respondents consumed the aloe vera decoction. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test yielded a p-value of 0.001 (< 0.05), leading to the conclusion that the administration of the aloe vera (Aloe vera) decoction has a significant effect on reducing blood glucose levels in the respondents. Therefore, respondents are advised to drink aloe vera tea at least once a day as an alternative measure to help control blood glucose levels.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin action. Blood glucose control is influenced by various factors, one of which is dietary patterns. Diets that do not adhere to balanced nutrition principles can lead to poor glycemic control and increase the risk of complications. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 95 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Sari Asih Karawaci Hospital in 2025, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Dietary pattern data were collected using a questionnaire, while blood glucose level data were obtained from medical examination results. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Contingency Coefficient test. The results showed that most respondents had good dietary patterns (58.9%), and blood glucose levels within the normal category (51.6%). Bivariate analysis using the Contingency Coefficient test indicated a p-value of 0.005, demonstrating a significant relationship between dietary patterns and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. There is a significant relationship between dietary patterns and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Proper dietary management is an important factor in controlling blood glucose levels and should be a primary focus in nursing care and health education for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are major public health problems that develop slowly and are often asymptomatic in the early stages. The Baduy community has limited access to modern health services, resulting in a lack of routine health screening. This community service activity aimed to conduct health screening through uric acid, blood sugar, and blood pressure examinations as an effort for early detection of NCDs in the Baduy community of Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Banten. The activity methods included preparation, health examinations, health education, and evaluation. A total of 17 community members participated in the activity. The results showed that 41.2% of participants had elevated uric acid levels, 11.8% had high blood sugar levels, and 47.1% had high blood pressure. This activity increased community awareness of the importance of routine health checks and provided an initial overview of NCD risk factors. Health screening combined with education is expected to contribute to the prevention of NCDs and improvement of community quality of life.

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are two highly prevalent non-communicable diseases that often coexist as comorbidities, significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications. The coexistence of these conditions accelerates the onset of atherosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, and kidney failure, thereby requiring more comprehensive clinical management. One of the key parameters in diabetes management is fasting blood glucose (FBG), which reflects the balance of glucose metabolism after a fasting period. Chronic hyperglycemia is known to contribute to endothelial dysfunction, increased peripheral vascular resistance, and activation of the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, ultimately leading to elevated blood pressure. This study employed a systematic literature review approach, analyzing articles published between 2021 and 2025. Narrative synthesis was conducted across various study designs, including cross-sectional, cohort, and meta-analysis studies. The findings indicate that most studies support a significant association between FBG levels and blood pressure, although some reported varying results. Cohort studies provide stronger evidence that elevated FBG increases the risk of new-onset hypertension. Age, treatment adherence, and lifestyle factors were also identified as confounding variables influencing outcomes. Overall, the evidence highlights that glycemic control through FBG monitoring is essential in managing hypertension among diabetic patients. Multidisciplinary strategies, patient education, and strengthening of primary healthcare services are required to reduce cardiovascular risks. Longitudinal studies are recommended to deepen the understanding of the relationship between FBG and blood pressure and to reinforce the scientific basis for evidence-based clinical interventions.

Elderly exercise is a sporting activity that can help improve heart health, maintain stable blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and prevent various degenerative diseases in the elderly. Abnormal blood sugar levels can cause metabolic disorders that lead to various serious health problems. This study aims to determine the impact of elderly exercise on improving the health and independence of older adults in carrying out daily activities. This study used an evaluative method with a cross-sectional approach at the Nibong Community Health Center, North Aceh, involving 38 elderly people (14 men and 24 women) as a sample. The results showed that after participating in regular exercise, the number of elderly people with high blood sugar levels decreased to 31.6%, while the number of elderly people with normal blood sugar levels increased to 86.6%. Statistical tests showed a significant difference between blood sugar levels before and after exercise (p < 0.05). From these results, it can be concluded that elderly exercise is effective in lowering blood sugar levels, increasing insulin sensitivity, improving fitness and balance, and motivating elderly people to maintain their health. It is recommended that the Nibong Community Health Center regularly hold structured elderly exercise programs and provide educational counseling on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and controlling sugar intake. The results of this study can serve as a reference for health institutions and further research

The body may experience insulin resistance or an insufficient production of the hormone, blood sugar levels rise continuously, leading to a chronic metabolic condition called Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Among non-pharmacological approaches proven effective in managing hyperglycemia, physical exercise particularly the Prolanis workout program has shown notable benefits. This study assesses how joining the Prolanis Exercise Program influences blood glucose reduction in Type 2 Diabetes patients at Kuta Baro Health Center, Aceh Besar. This research utilized a quasi-experimental method applying a one-group pretest–posttest framework. Participants, numbering 25 individuals, were selected through an accidental sampling process.. Throughout a four-week implementation of the Prolanis Exercise Program, measurements of blood glucose levels were taken both prior to and subsequent to the program. The findings revealed a notable decline in mean blood sugar levels, decreasing from 158.84 mg/dL before the intervention to 121.92 mg/dL afterward. Based on the Paired Samples t-Test (p < 0.05), the Prolanis Exercise intervention was found to have a significant effect in lowering blood glucose levels. This finding demonstrates that regular participation in Prolanis Exercise serves as an effective non-pharmacological approach for controlling Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Community Health Centers are advised to consistently continue developing and facilitating routine Prolanis Exercise activities, in addition to providing ongoing education on healthy lifestyles to patients. Patients are expected to actively engage in this program as part of their diabetes self-management.
