Abstract

One of the management strategies for Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is through nutrition counseling to increase patients' knowledge and ability to prepare food and manage their diet to achieve optimal health. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nutrition counseling on blood sugar levels and patient adherence to the DM type 2 diet. Quasi-experimental research design using a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 35 respondents who met the criteria. Diet adherence is assessed based on compliance with the 3Js (quantity, type, and schedule), and blood sugar levels are measured using a glucometer. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The study results showed that before nutrition counseling, the intake of nutrients was as follows: carbohydrates 268.77±96.1 grams, protein 60.69±11.97 grams, fat 61.61±20.53 grams, carbohydrates 268.77±96.1 grams, and fiber 11.40±4.57 grams. After nutrition counseling, the intake was: energy 1621.17±409.01 kcal, protein 61.36±11.61 grams, fat 56.78±25.41 grams, carbohydrates 268.77±96.12 grams, and fiber 12.92±13.82 grams. The mean adherence to food type before nutrition counseling was 0.57±0.502 and after nutrition counseling was 0.91±0.284. The mean adherence to meal schedules before nutrition counseling was 0.60±0.497 and after nutrition counseling was 0.83±0.382. The mean blood sugar level before nutrition counseling was 151.20±26.787, and after nutrition counseling, it was 136.57±26.947. The conclusion is that nutrition counseling is effective in changing blood sugar levels and adherence to the diet in patients.

Abstract

Pumpkin is one of the agricultural commodities with potential as a functional food ingredient, supported by its nutritional value and availability. Many studies have been conducted on pumpkin, including its nutritional composition, bioactive carotenoid compounds, sustainable agricultural cultivation, waste management, and utilisation as a functional food.  However, a bibliometric analysis of the agricultural potential of pumpkin has never been conducted. This study aims to map research trends on pumpkin and its potential as an agricultural commodity in the last 25 years (2000-2025). Research data were obtained from the ScienceDirect database and visualised using VOSviewer. The data visualisation showed that pumpkin is closely related to carotenoids, its main bioactive compounds. In addition, pumpkin has been associated with grafting techniques widely used in cucurbitaceae, especially in cucumber and watermelon. The most recent research on pumpkin focuses on pumpkin analogue rice, sensory analysis, and metabolomics. By visualizing the agricultural potential of pumpkin, the trend and development over time can be clearly seen. This visualisation can serve as a reference for researchers to identify the research gap in pumpkin and its future potential.

Abstract

Diabetes remains a global challenge, including in Indonesia. Long-term use of commercial drugs has side effects on diabetes patients, therefore exploration and development of natural alternatives must be carried out to minimize the effects of commercial drugs. P. angulata is one of the medicinal plants found in Indonesia that has traditionally been widely used for diabetes treatment, but it has not been widely explored. Although there are a number of studies examining the biological benefits of P. angulata, bibliometric studies are still limited. This study aims to bibliometrically analyze scientific publications from 2000 to 2025 regarding the use of P. angulata in diabetes. We analyzed 288 documents from several publication databases: Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, using VOSviewer. The analysis included publication trends, keyword occurrence, and experimental studies that had been conducted. Publication trends showed an increase, which peaking in 2025 with 32 documents. The Journal of Ethnopharmacology is the top publisher on P. angulata and its association to diabetes. Keyword occurrence reveals that P. angulata is associated with medicinal plants, ethnobotany, phytochemistry, and biological activity, whereas studies on diabetes exist but are confined to in vivo and in vitro investigations, with no clinical trials or food development occurring. A review of experimental studies reveals that P. angulata's bioactive components include antihyperglycemic and antioxidant properties, as well as pancreatic and kidney protective benefits. Recent research has begun to investigate molecular pathways using a molecular docking approach. In conclusion, the findings of this bibliometric analysis suggest that P. angulata has high potential as an agri-food-based bioactive source for diabetes treatment. However, further research is needed, notably in terms of extract standardization, clinical validation in individuals, and the development of future functional food-based formulations followed up by reliable scientific evidence.
