Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires long-term management. There is a tendency in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients to use herbs as a complement to medical treatment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of herbs as a complement to medical treatment in reducing blood sugar levels of T2DM patients. This type of research is quasi-experimental, with 40 research subjects divided into 4 groups. Determination of research subjects by purposive sampling in accordance with established inclusion criteria. Data analysis using paired T test. The majority of respondents was women (77.5%) and had no genetic history (75%). The duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus  majority was &gt;5 years 72.5%). Data on random blood sugar levels before (p=0.098) and after (p=0.113) intervention were normally distributed and homogeneous p&gt;0.05 (0.839). The treatment group (groups 2, 3, and 4) showed a significant decrease in random blood sugar levels as the control group (1) with a significance value &lt;0.05. Giving herbs has a tendency to reduce random blood sugar levels when used as a complement to medical treatment. Bitter melon shows the effect of decreasing random blood sugar levels greater than the provision of bay leaves and cinnamon.<br /><br />

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of foot exercises on decreasing neuropathy scores and blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study used a quasi-experimental design with the Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design approach. The sample in this study consisting of intervention group (n=16) and the control group (n=16). Measurement of neuropathy using Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). The statistical test used was the Wilcoxon test, t-dependent test, Mann-Withney test. The results of the study in the intervention group had a significant decrease in neuropathy scores and blood sugar levels (p=0.001). Whereas in the control group there was no significant decrease in neuropathy scores (p=0.069) and blood sugar levels (p=0.184). Based on the Mann-Withney test results showed that there were significant differences in neuropathy scores and blood sugar levels between the intervention group and the control group (p=0.003; p=0.042).The conclusion of this study is that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are given foot gymnastic action have decreased neuropathy scores and blood sugar levels.  Keywords : Foot Exercise, Neuropathy Score, Blood Sugar Level, Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), Type 2 DM

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 2 is a metabolic disorder disease characterized by an increase in blood sugar (hyperglycemia) due to decreased insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells or intrusion of insulin function. Hyperglycemia tends to cause oxidative stress where free radical formation exceeds the body's antioxidant defense system resulting in microvascular and macrovascular disorders. Some ethnic groups have a tendency to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus because of differences in diet, lifestyle and physical activity. In addition, ethnicity is also suspected to affect the levels of IL-6. This study aims to determine the correlation of fasting blood sugar levels with IL-6 levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus ethnic Minangkabau. This research is cross sectional comparative research design. The subjects of two groups: DM type 2 and control group (non-DM) who went to the Polyclinic of State University of Padang, Minangkabau ethnic and each consisted of 35 people. Blood glucometer examination with blood sample and IL-6 measurement using ELISA technique with serum sample. Fasting blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 DM Minangkabau ethnic average 286.2 ± 80.46 mg / dl while non DM 101.26 ± 9.70 mg / dl. Mean IL-6 levels in type 2 DM patients were 16.23 ± 30.12 pg / ml while non-DM of 3.41 ± 1.91 pg / ml was an increase of about 4.7 in patients with type 2 DM Compared to non-ethnic minority of Minangkabau with p value <0,05. The result of research that have been done there is a positive correlation between fasting blood sugar level with IL -6 in patients with Type 2 DM Minangkabau ethnic with r value = 0,44 at p <0.05 which means interpretation of medium correlation strength. Keywords: Type 2 DM, IL-6, ethnic Minangkabau

Diabetes mellitus ranks seventh as the most deadly disease with a prevalence of 1.9% and is dominated by type 2 diabetes mellitus with 95%. A solution is needed to overcome this problem, one of which is by utilizing jamblang stem barks, cinnamon, and mangosteen peel which are packaged in a popular product, namely steeping tea bags. This research aimed to determine the effect and potential biodiversity of extracts of jamblang stem barks, cinnamon and mangosteen peel as an antidiabetic drug in the form of infusion in rats induced by alloxan. This research used one-factor completely randomized design (CRD) with a linear model. Data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA and Post-hoc Tukey. The sample used was male mice aged 2-3 months with a body weight of ± 20 grams. The sample consisted of 25 individuals and divided into 5 groups. group I (control), group II (alloxan induction + jamblang stem barks extract, cinnamon, and mangosteen peel 1.35 grams / 200gBB), group III (alloxan induction + mangosteen peel 1.35 grams / 200gBB), group IV (alloxan induction + wood sweet 1.35 gram / 200gBB), group V (alloxan induction + jamblang stem barks 1.35 gram / 200gBB). Day 21, the amount of increase in blood sugar levels was observed and assessed based on the results of the tools used. The results showed that the infusion of jamblang stem barks, cinnamon and mangosteen peel had a significant effect on reducing blood sugar so that it could prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Serum ferritin is known as an index for body iron stores also as an inflammatory marker and it is influenced by several disease. We were looking for a correlation between HbA1c and S. Ferritin in type 2 DM. Methodology: The present study a total of 150 participants were enrolled of which 100 were confirmed cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and rest 50 age and sex matched healthy subjects constituted the control group. All were screened for HbA1c, Fasting blood sugar, Post prandial blood sugar and S.Ferritin. Results: A highly significant variation and positive correlation was observed with respect to S.Ferritin and HbA1c levels. Mean S.Ferritin was high in the subgroup with poor glycemic control. Conclusion: The fasting, post prandial sugar levels, HbA1c and S.Ferritin were significantly higher in the diabetic subjects. This study shows a positive correlation between HbA1c and S. Ferritin levels. So we can conclude that in diabetic patients S. Ferritin may serve as an independent marker of poor glycemic and metabolic control. Keywords: Serum ferritin, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, HbA1c.

We have investigated twenty five patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus aged (35-60) years and fifteen healthy persons as control group to detect Anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody. All studied groups were carried out to measure fasting blood sugar, anti- Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), anti-? islets cells antibody by IFAT, Anti-H. pylori IgG antibody by ELISA technique. There was significant elevation in the concentration of fasting blood sugar than in control group (P < 0.05), the patients had negative results for anti-GAD antibody and anti- ? islets cells antibody, there were significant differences (P < 0.05) of anti-H. pylori IgG antibody in 28 % of patients had type-2 diabetes than control group. This lead to suggestion that type -2 diabetes mellitus patients are more susceptible to H. pylori .
