If you have diabetes, maintaining a consistent carbohydrate intake throughout the day is an effective meal-planning method to help maintain your target blood glucose levels. Foods that contain carbohydrates have the greatest effect on blood glucose levels compared to foods that contain primarily protein or fat. Carbohydrates in foods that contribute to blood glucose includes sugars and starches. The amount of carbohydrate you consume is based on your diabetes treatment goals and carbohydrate tolerance. This new 3-page publication of the UF/IFAS Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, written by Nancy J. Gal and Wendy J. Dahl, provides a strategy for planning your daily menu to manage your carbohydrate intake. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fs324

“Carb” counting is a way to plan meals to help you maintain target blood glucose levels. Certain foods contain carbohydrate, and these are the foods that most influence your blood glucose. Your body needs carbohydrate in just the right amount. Not enough carbohydrate can lead to low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Too much carbohydrate can lead to high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). This is why carb counting is a great tool to understand and practice because it can help you control your blood glucose and still give you the freedom to make varied food choices.

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by elevated blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia. Counseling to people with Diabetes Mellitus about nutrition and healthy lifestyle is a method to raise awareness of Diabetes Mellitus patients to change food intake so as to improve blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of nutrition counseling on nutrient intake and blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the work area of ​​Motoling Puskesmas. The research type is pre experiment design with one group pretest and posttest approach. The population in this study were 55 outpatient Diabetes Mellitus patients at Motoling Puskesmas, a sample of 23 outpatient Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients at Motoling Puskesmas. Nutrition counseling using media leaflets is given four times a month. Data Food intake was taken by using food recall 24 hours, data of glucose level of patient was taken by doing autocheck blood sugar test and for characteristic data of respondent using questioner. To determine the difference of glucose level with carbohydrate and fat intake before and after nutritional counseling was analyzed by using paired test of T test and Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between carbohydrate intake before and after nutritional counseling (p = 0.002 <α 0.05). Average carbohydrate intake before counseling 359.52 g and after counseling 290.09 g a decrease of 69.43 g. For fat intake showed no significant difference in carbohydrate intake before and after nutritional counseling (p = 0.009 <α 0.05). Average fat intake before counseling 128.61 g and after counseling 75.04 g decreased 53.56 g. While blood glucose levels showed no significant difference in carbohydrate intake before and after nutritional counseling (p = 0.000 <α 0.05). Mean blood glucose levels before counseling 255 mg / dl to 202.39 mg / dl decreased 52.60 mg / dl. Conclusion, there is a significant difference between nutrient intake and blood glucose levels in patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 in the work area of Motoling Puskesmas.

This study assessed the medication used in type 2 diabetes treatment, depending on the glycaemia level and set out the oral anti-diabetics which are recommended, in three study stages: admission, hospitalization and discharge. Eighty patients were selected and diagnosed with diabetes mellitus 2 type, who were registered in the diabetes and nutrition diseases department within Sf. Apostol Andrei Galati Hospital. They were subjected to a series of laboratory tests: blood count, glycosylated haemoglobin, glycaemia level. It were established main classes of anti-diabetic drugs outpatient used and the main types of anti-diabetic agents administrated to patients requiring hospitalization, compared to high glycaemia values. It was given also, the medication used to normalize blood glucose levels during hospitalization and also at discharge. The biguanides associated with sulphonylureas drugs did not provide an adequate glycaemia control, so insulin must be combined with Metformin to normalize blood glucose levels as soon as possible. Glycaemia control was improved and the hypoglycaemia risk was reduced regarding obese patient undergoing treatment with insulin, to whom biguanides were administered.

The prevention of Diabetic Mellitus (DM) and its complications is the main aim of this study, in addition to the training of lotion foot care application and the development of small scale industry. The research team delivered knowledge in the form of training on Diabetic Mellitus, healthy food, treatment and prevention of complications, and small-scale production of cosmetic products. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between training on diabetic and lotion foot care application as preventive measures against diabetic complications on the patient's blood glucose levels in the community of residents in Banyuurip Jaya, Surabaya. It was expected from this training that the knowledge of the residents increases and people living with diabetic undergo lifestyle changes and therefore blood sugar levels can be controlled. The parameters measured in this research were blood glucose levels, the anti diabetic drug types consumed, and compliance on diabetics. This study used the data taken from 60 patients with DM over a period of one month. Questionnaires and log books was used to retrieve data and changes in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The results showed the demographic data of patients with type 2 diabetic of 85% female and 15% male, with the range of patients aged of 61-70 years of 46.67% and had history of diabetic (90%). The history of drugs consumed by respondents was anti diabetic drugs such as metformin (40%), glimepiride (33.37%) and insulin (6.67%). In addition, the increased knowledge of DM patients after being given the training compared to before training was shown in several questions in the questionnaire. A statistical analysis using t-test analyzed a correlation between training provided in order to enhance understanding of the patient, as well as correlation with blood glucose levels. A paired T-test showed that there was a relationship between the knowledge of trainees before and after training (p less than 0.05). An interesting result was that there was no relationship between blood glucose levels before and after training provided (p> 0.05).
