The Relationship between Blood Glucose Levels and Performance at Cognitive Processing and Motor Coordination Tasks

Diabetes mellitus is a severe chronic disease, and the number of patients has increased. To manage blood glucose levels, patients should frequently measure their blood glucose and analyze which lifestyle habits affect blood glucose levels. However, it is hard to record and analyze the relationship between their blood glucose levels and lifestyle. The internet of things (IoT) is useful to interconnect, monitor, obtain, and process data between various devices used in everyday life to fulfill a common objective. This paper proposes an intelligent self-care platform using IoT technology that helps patients with chronic diabetes manage their blood glucose levels in their target range. In particular, we developed various devices called the self-care IoT pack. It consists of five different types of devices to obtain blood glucose levels, physical activities, food intake, medication, sleeping, and so on. They can collect blood glucose levels with lifestyles that automatically impact the patient’s blood glucose level. We also devised a self-care application to display and analyze the data obtained from the IoT pack. Consequently, the proposed self-care IoT platform collects the blood glucose levels and the lifestyles without any burden of record. By reviewing the accumulated information, the patients can find bad habits in blood glucose management and improve their lifestyle.

The Relationship

Diabetes is a prevalent condition affecting millions of patients globally. Some diabetic patients suffer from a deadly condition called Hypoglycemia (sudden drop in blood glucose levels). Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) have been the most pervasive tool used to track blood glucose levels but these tools are invasive and costly. While early detection of hypoglycemia has been studied, current approaches do not leverage tremors; which are a primary symptom of hypoglycemia. A scoping review was conducted to understand the relationship between tremors and hypoglycemia, and to document any efforts that utilized tremor signatures non-invasively to detect hypoglycemic events. Findings suggest that hypoglycemic tremors are a medium frequency tremor, more resistant to hypoglycemic impairment than other symptoms, and have not been fully explored yet. This paper also documents the work in progress to utilize a novel wearable device that predicts the onsets of hypoglycemia using hand tremor sensing.

The Relationship

The purpose of this research is to know the effectiveness of red betel leaf infusion (Piper crocatum) as anti-obesity in mice (Mus musculus). Other parameters of this study to know the relationship between changes in blood glucose levels to obesity in experimental animals. Experimental animals used were 24 male mice. The design of this research is completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments 6 repetitions. There are four treatmens P0 (Control), P1 (6 mice by giving a betel leaf infusion with a concentration of 5%), P2 (6 mice by giving a betel leaf infusion with a concentration of 10%), and P3 (6 mice by giving a betel leaf infusion with a concentration of red 15%). The treatment is carried out once every day for 21 days. Before treatment, initial weight was weighed and blood glucose level examination continued on the 7th day, on the 14th day, and on the 21st day. Data obtained from the results of weighing and checking blood sugar levels were further analyzed using the ANOVA test which statistically showed no significant changes (P> 0.05) of body weight and blood glucose levels in mice (Mus musculus) given infusion red betel leaf (Piper crocatum).

The Relationship

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder marked increase in blood glucose. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013 the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the world reached 347 million people in Indonesia alone ranks among the seven countries with the highest diabetes prevalence of 7.6 million people. Among the causes of the increase in blood glucose levels in diabetics is due to psychological factors, namely anxiety. In the pre-survey results in Puskesmas Sumbersari Bantul note that from 8 patients with diabetes mellitus, there are 6 people experiencing anxiety and 2 do not complain any signs of anxiety. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of anxiety with blood glucose levels of diabetics mellitus in Puskesmas Sumbersari Bantul District of South Metro City. The type quantitative research, form design used is cross sectional. The population in this study are patients with diabetes mellitus in Puskesmas Sumbersari Bantul District of South Metro totaling 408 samples taken as many as 41 people. The analysis in this study using the test Person Product Moment. Statistical analysis showed that anxiety patients with diabetes mellitus are at an average score of 27.44 with a standard deviation of 4.353 and the average blood sugar levels of people with diabetes mellitus are at 339.78 mg / dL with a standard deviation of 74.742. In the Person Product Moment test results proved no relationship anxiety with blood sugar levels of people with diabetes mellitus (p-value = 0.000 <a 0.05). Pearson correlation results obtained value of 0.817 towards a positive correlation with the strength of the relationship is very strong. Conclusions research shows there is an anxiety relationship with blood glucose levels of diabetics mellitus.
