Abstract: Glucose is the result of carbohydrate metabolism that is converted and absorbed by bloodstream and placed to several organs and body tissues that functions as the main source of energy for muscles, physical activities of the body, central nervous system and brain work. A normal glucose level value is maintained by the body in a narrow range which is about 70-120 mg/dl. Glucose that has formed in its use as an energy source requires physical activities and insulin to stimulate permeability of the fiber muscle. This research aims at finding the effect of zumba to the blood glucose levels. Method: This research is an experiment with a one group pre and post test design that fulfill the criteria such as normal body mass index (18,5-22,9), people with no exercise routine, no diabetes mellitus, no asthma, no heart disease, no broken bones on hands and feet, and not being injured in muscle joints. The research samples are twenty students of nursing program study batch 2013, Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. the blood glucose level is measured before and after zumba exercise. The data are analyzed by Paired Sample-T test using SPSS. Conclusion: Based on the research done on the twenty research subjects, the result shows that there is no significant change of blood glucose levels after the two-week zumba exercise. Keywords: zumba, blood glucose.     Abstrak: Gula darah adalah hasil metabolisme karbohidrat yang terkonversi kemudian terabsorbsi oleh aliran darah dan ditempatkan ke berbagai organ dan jaringan tubuh dengan fungsi sebagai sumber energi utama bagi otot, aktivitas fisik tubuh, sistem saraf pusat dan kerja otak. Nilai kadar glukosa normal dipertahankan oleh tubuh dalam suatu rentangan nilai yang sempit yaitu sekitar 70-120 mg/dl. Glukosa yang telah terbentuk dalam penggunaannya sebagai sumber energi memerlukan aktivitas fisik dan kerja insulin untuk merangsang permebealitas dari serabut otot.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh zumba terhadap kadar gula darah.

Abstract: One of the simple carbohydrates is glucose that acts as the main energy producer. The function of the body will be felicitous when blood glucose levels are within normal limits. Glucose removal levels are considered normal if glucose levels return to normal within 2 hours after it rises in the first hour. If the blood glucose level within 2 hours after given fed is abnormal, it can be done by Oral Glucose Tolerance Test to get additional information about the presence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. This study was aimed to determine the difference of blood glucose levels within 2 hours postprandial between samples who given fed with loads of 75 grams glucose. The type of research used in this research was analytic observational with comparative study approach. Samples obtained 33 samples with treatment 4 times in each sample. The method used in this research was an enzymatic method. The results of this study showed the average blood glucose level within 2 hours postprandial which given fed with loads was 10.10% while the average measurement of blood glucose level within 2 hours postprandial loaded with 75 grams glucose was 7.61%. T-test obtained t value of 1.092 with a significant level at p = 0.284 (p> 0.05) so the conclusion there was no difference of blood glucose level within 2 hours postprandial between who given fed with loads of 75-gram glucose.Abstrak: Salah satu karbohidrat sederhana adalah glukosa yang berperan sebagai penghasil energi utama. Fungsi dari tubuh akan menjadi sangat baik apabila kadar glukosa darah berada pada batas yang normal. Kadar pembuangan glukosa dianggap normal jika kadar glukosa kembali normal dalam waktu 2 jam setelah kenaikan pada 1 jam pertama. Apabila kadar glukosa darah dalam waktu 2 jam setelah makan abnormal, maka dapat dilakukan Tes Toleransi Glukosa Oral untuk mendapatkan keterangan tambahan tentang adanya gangguan metabolisme karbohidrat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kadar glukosa darah 2 jam post prandial antara yang diberi beban makanan dengan beban glukosa 75 gram. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan comparative study. Sampel didapatkan 33 sampel dengan perlakuan 4 kali pada setiap sampelnya.

Time Changes

The current study investigates whether perceived time has an effect on blood glucose level in people with type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that perceived time will have a greater influence over blood glucose level than actual time. Changes in blood glucose levels were measured in 46 participants with diabetes while they completed simple tasks during a 90-min period. Participants’ perception of time was manipulated by having them refer to clocks that were either accurate or altered to run fast or slow. Blood glucose levels changed in accordance with how much time they believed had passed instead of how much time had actually passed. These results are an example of the influence psychological processes can directly exert on the body.

Blood Glucose Levels

Glucose is an important carbohydrate which is more absorbed into the bloodstream as glucose and other sugar is changed into glucose in the liver. Blood glucose level is closely related to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a disease that arises in a person which is indicated by the presence of blood glucose levels exceeding normal (hyperglycemia) due to the deficiency of the insulin hormone in the body. The design of this research was using RAL with 24 male rats that divided into 6 treatments which were normal with the giving of Na-CMC 0.5% 1mL/200 gram BB, negative with the giving of Na-CMC 0.5% 1mL/200 gram BB, positive with the giving of glibenclamide of 0.45 mg/kg BB and 3 other treatments by giving catfish biscuit (Formula A, Formula B, and formula C) with 4 replications. All treatments were injected with monohydrate alloxan at a dose of 150 mg/kg BW, except for the normal treatment. The results showed that the formulation of catfish biscuit can lower the blood glucose level of white rats. The composition of biscuit with formula C has the highest decreasing percentage which was 80.20% to the blood glucose level of white rats.

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).

The process of germination of grains such as rice, could increase some nutritional values of  amino acids and dietary fiber. Red rice and its sprouts are believed to be able to decrease blood glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of red rice sprouts in STZ-NA induced diabetic rats on blood glucose level, insulin level, and HOMA-IR and HOMA-β index. This experimental study was conducted based on randomized post test only control group design using 24 male Wistar rats aged 2.5 months. Rats were divided into 4 groups, one group without induction of STZ-NA fed with a standard diet (control) and three groups of STZ- NA induced with a standard diet, red rice and red rice germ. Experiments were conducted for 6 weeks. The results showed that sprouted red rice lowered blood glucose levels by 61.88 % and the value of HOMA-IR (insulin resistance parameters) by 56.82%. Insulin level increased by 16.35 % and HOMA-β by 763.6 %. This study showed that red rice germ was able to decrease blood glucose levels and increase insulin resistance of DM rats and the strength of the pancreatic beta cells. ABSTRAKProses perkecambahan biji-bijian seperti beras, dapat meningkatkan beberapa nilai gizi seperti asam amino dan serat pangan.

Abstract Background Blood glucose levels that are too high or too low after traumatic brain injury (TBI) negatively affect patient prognosis. This study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between blood glucose levels and the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) in TBI patients. Methods This study was based on a randomized, dual-center, open-label clinical trial. A total of 208 patients who participated in the randomized controlled trial were followed up for 5 years. Information on the disease, laboratory examination, insulin therapy, and surgery for patients with TBI was collected as candidate variables according to clinical importance. Additionally, data on 5-year and 6-month GOS were collected as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. For multivariate analysis, a generalized additive model (GAM) was used to investigate relationships between blood glucose levels and GOS. The results are presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). We further applied a two- piecewise linear regression model to examine the threshold effect of blood glucose level and GOS. Results A total of 182 patients were included in the final analysis. Multivariate GAM analysis revealed that a bell-shaped relationship existed between average blood glucose level and 5-year GOS score or 6-month GOS score. The inflection points of the average blood glucose level were 8.81 (95% CI: 7.43–9.48) mmol/L considering 5-year GOS as the outcome and were 8.88 (95% CI 7.43−9.74) mmol/L considering 6-month GOS score as the outcome. The same analysis revealed that there was also a bell relationship between average blood glucose levels and the favorable outcome group (GOS score ≥ 4) at 5 years or 6 months. Conclusion In a population of patients with traumatic brain injury, blood glucose levels were associated with the GOS. There was also a threshold effect between blood glucose levels and the GOS. A blood glucose level that is either too high or too low conveys a poor prognosis. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02161055. Registered on 11 June 2014.

Challenges in lifestyle, such as increasesin energy intake and decreasesin physical activity are causing overweight and obesity leading to epidemic increases in type II Diabetes Mellitus. The research approach used for this study was evaluative approach and the research design was true experimental design. 60 patients with type II diabetes, 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group were selected for this study by using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected with the help of self-structured interview schedule. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square, paired ‘t’ test) were used to analyse the data and to test the hypotheses. In the experimental group,the pre-test mean score was 2.966, mean percentage was 59% and standard deviation was 1.129 and in post-testmean score was 2.533, mean percentage was 50.66% and standard deviation was 1.074 with effectiveness of 8.34% and paired‘t’ test value of t=3.971,which was statistically significant (p<0.05) which is an evidence ofthe effectiveness of Amla juice in reducing blood glucose level. Comparison of blood glucose levels in experimental and control groups, shows that the value is statistically highly significant, as was observed from the unpaired ‘t’ test value of 13.39 with P value of <0.05, which is an evidence indicatingthe effect of Amla juice in reducing postprandial blood glucose levels. The resultsfound that the administration of Amla juice did have aneffect in reducing blood glucose level in the experimental group. By comparing the findings of pre-test and post test between the experimental group and the control group,the effect was identified (assessed). The study concluded that the Amlajuice is effective in reducing blood glucose level.
