Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, which occurs due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Most cases of diabetes mellitus are diabetes mellitus type-2. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypnotherapy on reducing blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus type-2. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. Purposive sampling was used, and 30 respondents selected. The instrument in this study was a single stick tool. The intervention group was given standard therapy treatment in the form of bio-energy therapy and hypnotherapy, while the control group was only given standard therapy treatment in the form of bio-energy therapy. Univariate analysis of the results indicates that the average blood glucose level before treatment was 234.67 mg/dl and after treatment was 194.67 mg / dl. Bivariate analysis based on the results of the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test obtained a p-value of 0.002 (p-value <0.05). This means that hypnotherapy reduced blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus type-2 sufferers. This study recommends the nursing profession apply hypnotherapy as an alternative or non-pharmacological complementary therapy that can be used to reduce blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus type 2.   Keywords: Hypnotherapy, diabetes mellitus type 2, blood glucose levels

Blood Glucose Levels

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become an epidemic, with worldwide projections indicating that more than 336 million people will be afflicted with the disease by 2030. T2DM is characterized by inappropriately high blood glucose levels due to a deficiency in insulin secretion, action, or both. Despite the horrific complications that occur with chronic elevations of blood glucose levels, less than half of those with T2DM do not maintain proper glycemic control. Sitagliptin (Januvia, Merck and Co., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) is a novel diabetes therapy approved for use in the U.S. and Europe. This small molecule inhibits the activity of DPP-4, a peptidase that degrades the glucoregulatory hormone GLP-1. Sitagliptin increases glucoregulation in individuals with T2DM both as a monotherapy and in combination with other antihyperglycemic drugs, with a low risk of adverse side effects.

Premonitory Symptoms

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder causing hyperglycaemia with defect in metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins due to defect in insulin secretion, or its utilization or both. Prediabetes is a condition in which the blood glucose levels do not meet the criteria for diabetes or too high to be considered normal (ADA). It is an early stage of DM. So it is important to diagnose Diabetes Mellitus type 2 in the previous stage that is prediabetes. It is already in practice to diagnose it with laboratory blood tests. But additionally, we can also take help of Prameha purvarupas as premonitory symptoms in patients prediabetes. HbA1C is a useful parameter to diagnose prediabetes. There is mild or no symptoms mentioned for prediabetes. Purvarupas of Prameha mentioned in Ayurvedic samhitas can be useful to know early stage of Diabetes mellitus type 2, clinically. The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of Purvarupa of Prameha to diagnose prediabetes. So, the need of hour is to focus on screening and diagnosing pre-Diabetes earlier, by spreading knowledge and awareness among society which will play a key role to reduce the conversion of pre-diabetes to diabetes mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease of the digestive system characterized by high blood glucose levels. The main enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism is α-glucosidase. One of the therapeutic approaches to treat T2DM is to make glucose uptake into the blood delayed through inhibition of the α-glucosidase enzyme activity. Neem leaves and mango ginger are reported to reduce blood glucose levels. This study aims to determine the potential inhibitor of neem leaves extract and mango ginger extract and their respective fractions on α-glucosidase activity. Simplicia of neem leaves and mango ginger were macerated using 96% ethanol for 24 hours. The ethanol extract of neem leaves and mango rhizome were fractionated using silica gel 60 GF254 as adsorbent and a combination of ethyl acetate and n-hexane as eluent. The extracts of neem leaves and mango rhizome and fractions of both plants were tested for α-glucosidase inhibition with acarbose as a comparison. The results showed that both plants provided inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase with the lowest IC50 value from the semi-polar fraction of neem leaves about 24.16±4.58 μg/mL. Neem leaves and mango ginger have potential as α-glucosidase inhibitors to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.

<p>One of the main causes of death in Indonesia is non-communicable diseases. One of the most common non-communicable disease is diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a category of diabetes that most people in the world suffer from. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by high levels of blood glucose which can lead a number of symptoms and complications if there is no regular monitoring of blood glucose levels and not paying attention to things that can affect blood glucose levels. Things that can affect blood glucose levels are adequate nutritional intake and physical activity.</p><p>Indonesia is a religious country because it recognizes 6 religions. Indonesia is also a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. One of the activities carried out continuously every year by a Muslim is fasting during the month of Ramadan. Fasting is one form of spiritual awareness that has many benefits, such as, heightening consciousness of God, adopting healthier lifestyle, loving and charity, increasing community spirit, and raising people to become a better version of themselves.</p><p>However, people with type 2 diabetes mellitus have to know that changes in nutritional intake and physical activity can affect their bodies. Therefore, people with diabetes mellitus have to know the management of diabetes mellitus during Ramadan fasting and they have to do self-management properly to avoid complications that can occur, such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, dehydration, and thrombosis.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keyword:</strong><strong> Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Spiritual Awareness, Self-management, Ramadan Fasting, Glucose Blood Level, Complication</strong></p>
