Hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose concentration) is the most important acute complication of the pharmacological treatment of diabetes mellitus. Low blood glucose impairs brain (and, potentially, cardiac) function. The brain has minimal endogenous stores of energy, with small amounts of glycogen in astroglial cells. The brain is therefore largely dependent on circulating glucose as the substrate to fuel cerebral metabolism and support cognitive performance. If blood glucose levels fall sufficiently, cognitive dysfunction is inevitable. In health, efficient glucose sensing and counterregulatory mechanisms exist to prevent clinically significant hypoglycaemia. These are impaired by diabetes and by its therapies. Patients with diabetes rank fear of hypoglycaemia as highly as fear of chronic complications such as nephropathy or retinopathy (1). Fear of hypoglycaemia, hypoglycaemia itself and attempts to avoid hypoglycaemia limit the degree to which glycaemic control can be intensified to reduce the risk of chronic complications of diabetes both for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Blood glucose levels  uncontrolled is a problem that is often found in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. This has an impact on the health of the patient as it would appear some macrovascular and microvascular complications. Number of patients with DM in Indonesia has increased every year and only 50% of patients suffering from diabetes who are aware of, and around 30% of them take medication regularly. The purpose of this study to determine the effect of Self Instructional Training method on blood glucose levels of patients. The method used is pre experiment with purposive sampling technique and the sample size of 16 respondents. Measuring instrument used glucometers to measure blood glucose levels and analyzed with Paired T Test. Based on the results, the entire blood glucose levels before the intervention above 200 mg /dl. After Self Instructional Training Intervention average blood glucose level was 35.75 mg /dl. Blood glucose levels are highest when the post test was 253 mg /dl and the lowest is 197 mg /dl. Based on Paired T Test  analysis obtained Self Instructional Training interventions can reduce blood glucose levels of patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type II (p value = 0.000). Diabetes Mellitus patients expected to be able to apply the  SIT method to perform self-care so that the patient's blood glucose levels can be controlled. Patient can do this methods  at home and needed support from their  family and health professionals to treat the diseases.Keywords : Self, Instructional, Training, level, glucose, blood, DM


Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic issue it is brought about by a flat out or relative absence of insulin that, among different outcomes, increments in plasma glucose fixation related to change hyperglycemia and unsettling influence of lipid digestion, starch digestion, additionally protein digestion. Glipizide, a secondgen sulfonylurea, is utilized with diet to bring down blood glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. The essential method of activity of glipizide in exploratory creatures seems, by all accounts, to be the incitement of insulin emission from the beta cells of pancreatic islet tissue and is in this way reliant on working -cells in the pancreatic islets. In human's glipizide seems to bring down the blood glucose intensely by invigorating the arrival of insulin from the pancreas, an impact subordinate after working -cells in the pancreatic islets. In man, incitement of insulin discharge by glipizide because of a feast is undoubtedly vital. Fasting insulin levels are not raised even on long haul glipizide organization, yet the postprandial insulin reaction keeps on being upgraded after at any rate a half year of treatment.

In Indonesia, it is estimated that there would be increasing in number of diabetes mellitus patients become 12 million cases in 2030. The expensive cost of conventional medications motivates people to find alternative medication. Bentonite is a natural clay which is a good absorbent and frequently called as healing clay for its potency in body detoxification. This study is an experimental research to prove bentonite which is a good absorbent and adsorbent in decreasing blood glucose concentration in diabetes mellitus. Subject of this research is 20 female Wistar rats which weigh 150–250 g. These subjects were divided into two groups: control group and bentonite group. Diabetes is induced by alloxan monohydrate 150mg/kg intraperitoneally, causing β cell necrosis in pancreas. Result of independent t-test showed that bentonite could significantly lower blood glucose levels with average value of 131.30 mg/dL (p=0.010). This concludes that bentonite canreduce blood glucose level in diabetic-induced rats.
