Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Many older adults are unaware that they have diabetes until they experience complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, or diabetic wounds that are difficult to heal. The Elderly Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) is a community-based health service that functions to maintain, monitor, and improve the health status of older adults at the village or sub-district level. This community service activity aims to increase the capacity and independence of Posyandu elderly cadres in providing education and assistance related to prevention, dietary management, and basic care for older adults with Diabetes Mellitus, thereby improving the quality of life of the elderly and reducing the risk of DM complications in the community. The method of this activity is to provide education and training to elderly cadres on prevention, diet, and care for older adults with DM. The results of this activity showed that knowledge before the education was mostly sufficient (60%), and after the activity, participants' knowledge increased, and the majority (80%) were classified in the good knowledge category.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) cases remain a global concern. DM is often referred to as the "silent killer" because its symptoms are often not noticeable in the early stages. DM can cause serious complications, such as kidney damage and even amputation. This is a serious public health issue. DM requires long-term treatment because it is a chronic disease that will be suffered with for life, where optimal blood sugar level management is the main focus of its treatment. Long-term medical treatment for DM often causes side effects and places a significant economic burden on patients. A natural, safe, and affordable supportive therapy approach is essential as part of comprehensive DM management. One plant with potential as a supportive therapy is turmeric leaf (Curcuma longa). Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of turmeric leaf decoction (curcuma longa) as a supportive therapy in lowering blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: This study was quasi-experimental and used a one-group pre-test-post-test design with control. The sample consisted of 60 DM patients (30 patients in the control group and 30 patients in the intervention group) who were treated at the Trucuk Klaten Community Health Center. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Blood sugar levels in the sample were measured using a glucometer. The data results were measured using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Turmeric leaf decoction affected lowering blood sugar levels in diabetic patients with a p-value = 0.001 (p<0.005).  Conclusion: This non-pharmacological therapy using turmeric leaf decoction can be used as a supportive therapy for diabetic patients because it contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which are believed to have the potential to help lower blood glucose levels.
