increasing health costs that are quite large. Because this disease is a progressive and chronic
disease that cannot be completely cured. Patients with diabetes mellitus have a high level of stress
and anxiety, which is associated with treatment that must be followed and the occurrence of serious
complications. The research design used in this study was correlational analytic, with a cross
sectional approach. The population was all patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Dahlia
Room at Jombang Hospital in the amount of 72 people. The sampling technique uses proportional
random sampling with a sample of 42 people. The research instrument used observation sheets with
data processing editing, coding, scoring, tabulating and statistical tests using Spearman rank with
an alpha (α) value of 0.05. The results of this study were that most (31%) respondents experienced
mild anxiety, most (28.6%) experienced moderate fear and random sugar levels in the majority
(61.9%) respondents were high, based on the results of the Spearman rank statistical test between
anxiety with random blood sugar levels obtained p value of 0,000 and less than 0.05 while the
results of the sperman rank statistical test between fear of random blood sugar levels obtained a
value of p value of 0,000 and smaller than 0.05 which means H1 is accepted. This study can be
concluded that there is a relationship between emotional response with random sugar levels in
