Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic disorder characterized by an increasing of blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Medication is one of the seven pillars of diabetes managementt. Garlic (Allium sativum), an alternative herb, also has an antidiabetic effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of garlic on the blood sugar level in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design with two group post-test design. The participants were DM patients who only take medication without any supplemental herbs. The respondents were divided into two group; intervention group, given antidiabetic drugs and consume garlic 3 pieces of garlic/day for 2 weeks and control group only got antidiabetic drugs. Data were collected by performing blood sugar measurement using glucose-check on all respondents using capillary blood in the fingertips. Second measurement were taken after monitoring the consumption of garlic together with drugs for two weeks. Hypothesis testing used independent T-Test test.Results: The study result found that the average of blood sugar level after administering the treatment is 240 mg/dl in the intervention group, and 284 mg/dl in control group. It can be concluded that the administration of 3 pieces of garlic combining with antidiabetic drugs for 2 weeks has not been able to reduce blood sugar levels into normal limits.Conclusions: This combination found to lowering the blood sugar levels in a significant amount compare to only drugs. The length of the therapy could consider as a significant predictor.

BACKGROUND: Prediabetes is a condition that precedes the onset of diabetes mellitus (DM), DM disagreement, and penalties are needed through the management of prediabetes. AIM: This study aimed to study the effect of giving cinnamon stems (Cinnamomum burmannii) for 14 days on the levels of fasting adult blood sugar (glukosa darah puasa [GDP]) in prediabete adults in Makassar City. METHODS: This research method uses a quasi-experimental randomized pre-test design with a control group. There are 28 samples from a total of 167 communities in the working area of Pampang and Antara Community Health Center who have diabetes risk factors. Levels of GDP, Anthropometry, knowledge level, and 24-h recall were taken from samples that were divided into two groups of cinnamon stew studio with a dose of 10 g + education for the intervention group and education for the control group. Data were analyzed using the will-coxon test and the Mann–Whitney test. RESULTS : The results showed that significant changes in GDP after giving cinnamon stew and education in the intervention group (p = 0.032), there was a change in GDP levels but not significant after providing education in the control group (p = 0.197), for the average difference change in GDP in the group intervention (−4.14) is greater than the control group (−2.50) but the magnitude of change in GDP is not significant, whereas there is no significant difference in GDP levels between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention (p = 0.270). Consumption of 10 g of cinnamon stew for 14 days can reduce fasting blood sugar levels. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the study, there were significant changes in GDP after giving cinnamon stew and education in the intervention group, there was a change in GDP levels but not significant after providing education in the control group, the average change in the intervention group was greater than the control group but the change in GDP not significant, there was no significant difference in GDP levels between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention.

Abstract Background In-hospital immobility of older adults is associated with hospital-associated functional decline (HAFD). This study examined the WALK-FOR program’s effects on HAFD prevention. Methods A quasi-experimental pre-post two-group (intervention group [IG] n = 188, control group [CG] n = 189) design was applied in two hospital internal medical units. On admission, patients reported pre-hospitalization functional status, which was assessed again at discharge and 1-month follow-up. Primary outcome was decline in basic activities of daily living (BADL), using the Modified Barthel Index. Secondary outcomes were decline in instrumental ADL (Lawton’s IADL scale) and community mobility (Yale Physical Activity Survey). All participants (75.1 ± 7 years old) were cognitively intact and ambulatory at admission. The WALK-FOR included a unit-tailored mobility program utilizing patient-and-staff education with a specific mobility goal (900 steps per day), measured by accelerometer. Results Decline in BADL occurred among 33% of the CG versus 23% of the IG (p = .02) at discharge, and among 43% of the CG versus 30% in the IG (p = .01) at 1-month follow-up. Similarly, 26% of the CG versus 15% of the IG declined in community mobility at 1-month follow-up (p = .01). Adjusted for major covariates, the intervention reduced the odds of decline in BADL by 41% (p = .05) at discharge and by 49% at 1-month follow-up (p = .01), and in community mobility by 63% (p = .02). There was no significant effect of the intervention on IADL decline (p = .19). Conclusions The WALK-FOR intervention is effective in reducing HAFD.
