Abstract Background and aims: To explore the most influential variables of fasting blood sugar (FBS) with three regression methods, to identify the existence chance of type 2 diabetes based on influential variables with logistic regression (LR), and to compare the three regression methods according to Mean Squared Error (MSE) value. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 270 patients suffering from type 2 diabetes for at least 6 months and 380 healthy people were participated. The Linear regression, Ridge regression, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) regression were used to find influential variables for FBS. Results: Among 15 variables (8 metabolic, 7 characteristic), Lasso regression selected HbA1c, Urea, age, BMI, heredity, and gender, Ridge regression selected HbA1c, heredity, gender, smoking status, and drug use, and Linear regression selected HbA1c as the most effective predictors for FBS. Conclusion: HbA1c is the most influential predictor of FBS among 15 variables according to the result of three regression methods. Controlling the variation of HbA1c leads to a more stable FBS. Beside FBS that should be checked before breakfast, maybe HbA1c could be helpful in diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia requires participation of all parties including pharmacists. This study aims to determine the impact of the implementation of home pharmacy service guidelines for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the level of knowledge, medication adherence, therapeurical satisfaction and glycemic control. This study used a quasi-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test design involving 37 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who met the requirements of inclusion and exclusion criterias. The Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24) and the Diabetes Medication Satisfaction Tool (DMSAT) were used for collecting the data. Patient adherence was measured using a pillcount method and fasting blood sugar levels (FSB) data were obtained from the laboratory results. The study was conducted in two community health centers and patient’s home in the Yogyakarta Municipality area. The data were analysed using Wilcoxon and Spearman test. The results showed the change of the level of knowledge, medication adherence, therapeutic satisfaction and glycemic control before and after intervention of pharmacy services at home. The average decreasing of fasting blood sugar levels 17.09 mg/dL ± 1.43

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 .

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global disease endemic and causing of 4.6 million deaths in the world. The Indonesian government and health insurance [BPJS Kesehatan] formulate a Chronic Disease Care Program [Program Pengelolaan Penyakit Kronis (PROLANIS)] for type 2 diabetes that aimed at controlling the glycemic status and the risk factors of macro and microvascular complications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between the implementation of PROLANIS and fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and total cholesterol levels in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at Antang and Pampang community health centers, Makassar, Indonesia. Methods: This study used descriptive correlation design with cross sectional study approach. Subjects were 40 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who joined PROLANIS at PUSKESMAS Antang and Pampang, Makassar, with sampling technique used was total sampling. The data were analyzed using correlation test to assess the significance (p), the direction (+/-), and the strength of the correlation (r). The implementation of PROLANIS was measured by using the observation sheets developed based on BPJS Kesehatan criteria, while the fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and total cholesterol levels were checked by laboratory. Results: The mean of the implementation of PROLANIS was 15.05 (SD ± 5.62), while the mean levels of fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and total cholesterolwere as followed: 191.80 mg/dL (SD ± 85.15); 8.4% (SD ± 2.08); and 192.87 mg/dL (SD ± 45.07). Using the Spearman's rho test, the study result showed that there was a significant and negative correlation between the implementation of PROLANIS and the levels of fasting blood sugar (p= 0.001; r= -0.724), HbA1c (p= 0.001; r= -0.870), and total cholesterol (p= 0.029; r= -0.35) in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at Puskemas Antang and Pampang, Makassar. Conclusions: The optimal implementation of the PROLANIS is very effective to control the levels of fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and total cholesterol in patients type 2 diabetes.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and depressive disorders are among the major health problems in our community. Chronic medical conditions, like diabetes are affectively stressful for patients and may influence pathophysiologic mechanisms as well as mood. This can lead to depression and poor prognosis of T2DM. This study was done to assess the prevalence of depression among T2DM patients and its association with glycemic control.Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out among 300 T2DM patients attending Urban Health Training Center (UHTC), Anakaputhur, which belongs to the urban field practice area of our institution. Fasting Blood Sugar levels (FBS) were assessed retrospectively from their medical records; and they were screened for depression by administering the nine items, “Patient Health Questionnaire - 9”.Results: Of the 300 T2DM patients, 54% were females. The mean age of the participants was 53±9.7 years. 31% of the study participants had fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels above 125 mg/dl. Depression was present in 39.7% of the individuals, among which, 17.3% had mild depression, 13% had moderate depression, 6.7% had moderately severe depression and 2.7% had severe depression. Depression was found to be significantly associated with increasing fasting blood sugar levels, diabetic complications, female gender and diabetic treatment.Conclusions: This study shows that depression is highly prevalent among T2DM patients and is associated with poor prognosis, as reflected by poor glycemic control (FBS) and the occurrence of diabetic complications. So screening and counselling for depression among T2DM patients have to be carried out for optimum control and treatment of T2DM.

Purpose The epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) effect in diabetes has been investigated in animal studies, but results of clinical trials are inconsistent. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effects of EGCG supplementation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Design/methodology/approach A total of 50 patients with T2DM were recruited in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The eligible participants were randomly allocated to EGCG (n = 25) and placebo (n = 25) groups. The EGCG group received two capsules of EGCG (each capsule contained 150 mg; Shari Made®, Iran) and placebo group was administered two capsules of placebo (starch) for eight weeks. A three-day 24-h dietary recall and anthropometric and laboratory measurements were carried out at the beginning and the end of the study. Findings At the end of the trial, weight and body mass index (BMI) were decreased significantly in both groups, but the reduction was not statistically significant between the two groups. Fasting blood sugar decreased significantly in EGCG group. No significant between-group and within-group differences were found in insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index values. The high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was significantly reduced in the EGCG group (4.13 ± 0.48-3.93 ± 0.50, p = 0.003) compared to baseline. Originality/value This study showed that consuming 300 mg/day of EGCG for eight weeks in patients with T2DM caused a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose, body weight, BMI and hs-CRP compared to baseline. Therefore, the EGCG supplementation may improve glycemic control, anthropometric and inflammation status in T2DM.

Background:  For chronic disease patients, pharmacist counselling with motivating reminder messages has been developed throughout time to promote the success of patient treatment. Diabetes mellitus is a long-term condition. Blood sugar control and an improved quality of life are therapeutic goals in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to determine whether changes in fasting blood sugar and quality of life occurred in individuals with diabetes mellitus who received pharmacist counselling coupled by motivating reminder messages.Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pre-test-post-test design with control and intervention groups. Data on patients with type 2 diabetes were obtained prospectively at Jetis 1 primary health care in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Seventy-two respondents who met the inclusion criteria were separated into two groups: the control group (36 participants) and the intervention group (36 participants). The patients’ quality of life was assessed using the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire.Results: Following pharmacist counselling coupled by motivating reminder messages, patients’ mean fasting blood sugar reduced significantly (∆ 34.85±63.36), while their mean quality of life score increased considerably (∆ 13.73±9.22).Conclusions: Pharmacist counselling combined with motivating reminder messages can help patients with type 2 diabetes lower their fasting blood sugar and enhance their quality of life. The provision of pharmacist counselling followed by brief reminders and motivational messages may be considered to improve type 2 diabetes patient management.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) type 2 occurs because of insulin resistance, on of the contributing factors is the lack of intake of micronutrients (zinc and magnesium) and macro (fiber). The prevalence of DM in Temanggung is 1,6%. There are 45 patients suffering from type 2 diabetes at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital in Temanggung which have zinc, magnesium, and fiber intake below normal (deficit). The study aims to analyze the relationship of zinc, magnesium, and fiber intake with fasting blood sugar levels at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital in Temanggung. The research is a cross sectional design with 45 responden taken with purposive sampling technique. Statistical analysis using kolmogorov smirnov normality test was tested using the spearman correlation test. Data collection of zinc, magnesium, and fiber intake using the 2x24 hour recall and FFQ form while the blood sugar level data is obtained from the patient’s medical record book. The result showed that there was a relationship between zinc intake to fasting sugar levels of patients (p=0,000), there was a correlation between magnesium intake to fasting blood sugar levels in patients (p=0,000). There is a relationship between zinc, magnesium, and fiber intake to fasting blood sugar levels. Keywords: Zink Intake, Magnesium Intake, Fiber Intake, Fasting Blood Sugar Level, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
