Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular disorder of the retina caused by hyperglycemia in the blood vessels and is the most common complication in the eye due to diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to determine the VEGF -460C/T gene polymorphism as a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy in T2DM patients in Bali. Materials and Methods: The design of this study was case-control with 27 cases of type 2 DM with DR and 29 cases without RD as controls. The VEGF-460C/T polymorphism in DNA was detected using PCR and DNA sequencing at rs833061 to see the distribution of the C/T allele variation. Data were analyzed using chi-square test. Results: Based on bivariate analysis comparing homozygous TT genotype variants, heterozygous CT and wild-type CC in this study, no significant relationship was found with the incidence of DR (p=0.742). Conclusion: Polymorphism of the VEGF-460C/T gene (rs833061) can be concluded as an irrelevant factor with the risk of developing DR in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Bali. Keywords: VEGF -460C/T, Diabetes Mellitus, Polymorphism, Risk Factors.

The level of family knowledge is a very important factor in the actions of families of people with Diabetes Mellitus, behavior based on knowledge will be easier to carry out than those not based on knowledge. Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that requires proper and immediate treatment efforts because it can cause complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, and damage to the nervous system. One way to overcome the effects of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is by applying a diet. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of family knowledge with efforts to prevent complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the work area of Babakan Puskesmas, Cirebon Regency. This research method uses descriptive correlational, this research uses cross section research. The population is all families with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the work area of Babakan Puskesmas in Cirebon Regency as many as 144 respondents and sampling using Purposive Sampling obtained 60 respondents. The instruments used were questionnaire sheets, and data analysis using chi-square test that is the significance value α = 0.1. The results of the above study indicate between the level of family knowledge and prevention of complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus in getting p-value = 0.04, because the p-value of 0.04 <0.1 then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted which means there is a relationship between the level of family knowledge and prevention of complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the work area of Babakan Health Center, Cirebon Regency.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires treatment for a long period of time. Adherence to consuming drugs is one of the most important things in achieving treatment goals. This study aims to determine the level of adherence and quality of life and determine the relationship to the quality of life of patients with type 2 DM in hospitals in Central Java. This study uses analytic design by asking cross-sectional. Samples were taken at two hospitals in Central Java. Sampling was purposive sampling with the criteria of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who are undergoing outpatient care in the hospital, have undergone therapy for at least 3 months, and can communicate well. As a measurement used the Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) questionnaire while the quality of life measure used the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Score data received and quality of life that has been obtained was processed with the SPSS (Product Statistics and Service Solutions) chi-square test. Research results in 200 respondents found 9 people (4.5%) had low adherence, 46 people (23%) were moderately related and 145 people (72.5%) have high adherence. While the quality of life found 41 people (20.5%) had a poor quality of life and 159 people (79.5%) had a good quality of life. The lowest aspect of quality of life is physical limitations and the highest aspect of quality of life is mental health. From the results of the analysis on the chi square test, the p value was obtained: 0.00. This shows that there is a significant relationship between adherence and quality of life in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus at the hospitals and a Prevalence Ratio value of 23.47.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperlycemia. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus due to intake of carbohydrates, fats and protein. This study aims to see the relationship between diet in the nutrient status of type 2 diabetes mellitus in out patient in Grandmed Hospital Lubuk Pakam. This research method is an observational description with cross-sectional design. The sample is patients type 2 diabetes mellitus in out patient in Grandmed Hospital Lubuk Pakam. The sample is 30 people. The instruments are Food Recall 24 Hours and analyzed by nutrition app Nutri Survey. The data analysis used in this study was the Chi-Square test (95% CI) From the result of this research showed that 44,6% of patients with excess carbohydrate intake with a p value of 0.000 ≤ α (0,05). this research showed that 49,0% of patients with excess fat intake with a p value of 0.000 ≤ α (0,05). this research showed that 38,0% of patients with excess protein intake with a p value of 0.000 ≤ α (0,05). The conclusion are that there is significant relationship between diet in the nutrient status of type 2 diabetes mellitus in out patient in Grandmed Hospital Lubuk Pakam and type 2 diabetes mellitus in out patient nutrient status characteristics categorized as obesity.

T2DM can be triggered by two collaborating factors, namely genetics and the environment. This study aimed to identify genetic markers that can be used to detect the possibility of a person having T2D using the random amplified polymorphism DNA (RAPD) method. The study was carried out cross-sectional and involved 60 samples consisting of 30 positive T2D samples and 30 negative samples T2D. The primer used for PCR-RAPD was D20 (5'-ACCCGGTCAC-3’). The PCR-RAPD results were then analyzed using the scoring method and analyzed using the non-parametric Chi-Square test (cl: 95%). Among T2D, 576 bp band were confirmed to be markers in the patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the association of vitamin D (VD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: Literature search was conducted for studies assessing the association of VD and DR. Total 9 studies have a sum total of 1741 patients were included for final analysis. Results: The concentration of VD in controls ranged from 17.5±3.6 to 31.9±12.9 ng/ml, while for T2DM patients without retinopathy it ranged from 11.94±4.21 to 23.10±6.12 ng/ml. T2DM patients with retinopathy had the lowest concentration, ranging from 10.02±5.61 to 19.25±7.86 ng/ml. Ahigher percentage of T2DM patients without (50.7% to 68.80%) and with (31.2% to 79.63%) retinopathy had VD deficiency (VDD). Discussion: An inverse association between VD levels and DR was observed. The concentration of VD decreases as the stage of DR advances. VD seems to be an easily modifiable risk factor for DR. Thus, VD supplementation should be encouraged in population at higher risk for diabetic complications.
