Diabetes is a chronic condition that cannot be cured but can be controlled, meaning that if
diagnosed with diabetes for life, DM sufferers can live healthy lives with DM as long as they are
obedient and controlled. This study used a quasy experimental research design pre-post-test design
with a control group and the sampling technique was carried out using a non-probability sampling
method through a quota sampling technique. Study analysis was performed using paired t-test and
independent t-test to confirm comparisons between the two study groups. Based on the results of the
research analysis, it was found that the respondent's blood glucose levels in the treatment group
averaged 336 mg / dl (uncontrolled) at the pre-test and 293 mg / dl (uncontrolled) at the post-test.
Controlled), but on average the results show a decrease in the respondent's blood sugar value. The
results of the study in the control group showed that the value of blood glucose was 298 mg / dl
(uncontrolled) for the pre-test mean and 296 mg / dl (uncontrolled) for the post-test. The results of
the research analysis showed that the respondents' blood glucose levels in the treatment group
averaged 336 mg / dl (uncontrolled) at the pre-test and 293 mg / dl (uncontrolled) at the post-test.
Controlled). Uncontrolled glucose can be managed through general nutritional management,
medication, exercise, control, and education.
