Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, with type II diabetes mellitus contributing the majority of cases due to unhealthy dietary patterns, low levels of knowledge, and poor adherence in disease management. Proper dietary management is essential to control blood glucose levels and prevent complications. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and dietary adherence with blood glucose levels among patients with type II diabetes mellitus in the inpatient ward of RSUD Tarutung. This study used a quantitative method with an analytic approach and a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 54 patients, and total sampling was applied. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results show that there is a significant relationship between knowledge level and blood glucose levels (p=0.000; r=-0.598) as well as between dietary adherence and blood glucose levels (p=0.001; r=-0.434). Both variables show moderate negative correlations, indicating that better knowledge and higher dietary adherence are associated with better-controlled blood glucose levels. In conclusion, knowledge and dietary adherence play an important role in controlling blood glucose levels among patients with type II diabetes mellitus. It is recommended that health professionals enhance patient education and that future researchers examine other factors influencing blood glucose levels using more diverse research designs.

Abstract

Background: Iron supplementation in pregnant women is one of the key interventions recommended to prevent anemia and support the health of both the mother and the fetus. The increased need for iron during pregnancy makes supplementation a primary strategy in maternal health care. However, it is important to note that excessive iron intake has the potential to cause side effects such as iron overload, which can increase oxidative stress and insulin resistance in pregnant women. These conditions are suspected to contribute to an increased risk of pregnancy complications, one of which is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of iron (Fe) supplementation on the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. Methods: This study employed a literature review design. Article retrieval was conducted through three databases—Google Scholar, DOAJ, and PubMed—using the keywords “iron supplementation,” “iron supplementation,” and “gestational diabetes risk.” Inclusion criteria included articles published between 2018 and 2023. The search yielded 5 relevant articles for comprehensive review. Results: Analysis of the selected articles indicates a trend toward an increased risk of GDM in pregnant women receiving iron supplementation, particularly when iron levels are already high. Therefore, the administration of iron supplements should be approached with caution if a pregnant woman has GDM. Conclusion: Iron supplementation is associated with an increased risk of GDM; therefore, its use should be tailored to the individual needs of the pregnant woman.
