Abstract

Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels that can progress to diabetes mellitus if not addressed early. Detection and education at the community level are essential strategies for prevention. This community service activity was conducted in Negeri Rutong, Ambon City, involving 84 participants, the majority of whom were woman (63%) and elderly (70%). The method employed was interactive health education combined with random blood glucose screening using a glucometer. Evaluation was conducted observationally through participant involvement in discussions and screening activities. The results showed that 35% of participants had blood glucose levels ?200 mg/dL, and 85% expressed a commitment to adopting a healthier lifestyle. The high level of enthusiasm and participation indicates that a participatory educational approach is effective in increasing public awareness of hyperglycemia risk. Education accompanied by direct screening can serve as a replicable model for the prevention of non-communicable diseases in communities with limited acces to health services.ABSTRAKHiperglikemia adalah kondisi meningkatnya kadar glukosa darah yang dapat berkembang menjadi diabetes melitus jika tidak ditangani secara dini. Deteksi dan edukasi di tingkat komunitas menjadi strategi penting dalam pencegahan. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di Negeri Rutong, Kota Ambon, dengan melibatkan 84 peserta, mayoritas perempuan (63%) dan lansia (70%). Metode yang digunakan adalah edukasi kesehatan interaktif yang dikombinasikan dengan skrining gula darah sewaktu menggunakan glucometer. Evaluasi dilakukan secara observasional melalui partisipasi dalam diskusi dan keterlibatan peserta dalam proses pemeriksaan. Hasil menunjukan 35% peserta memiliki kadar gula darah ?200 mg/dL, dan 85% menyatakan komitmen untuk menerapkan pola hidup sehat. Tingginya antusiasme dan partisipasi menunjukan bahwa pendekatan edukatif-partisipatif efektif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap resiko hiperglikemia. Edukasi yang disertai pemeriksaan langsung dapat menjadi model replikatif untuk pencegahan penyakit tidak menular di masyarakat dengan akses terbatas terhadap layanan kesehatan.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia, with risk factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and overweight or obesity. This study aimed to evaluate NCD risk factors through blood glucose, uric acid, and total cholesterol measurements in Negeri Leahari, Leitimur Selatan District, Ambon City. A cross-sectional design was used with a convenience sampling technique, involving 138 voluntarily participating individuals. Blood glucose, uric acid, and total cholesterol levels were measured using an AutoCheck device, while data on diet, physical activity, and body mass index were collected through questionnaires. The results showed that 30% of participants had blood glucose levels ≥200 mg/dL, 22% had hyperuricemia, and 26% had total cholesterol levels ≥200 mg/dL. The main contributing factors were unhealthy diet (58%), low physical activity (52%), and a high prevalence of overweight and obesity (38%). Analysis showed a significant relationship between low physical activity and high uric acid levels (p = 0.04), while the relationship between diet and cholesterol and blood glucose levels showed a tendency toward increase, although not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The prevalence of NCD risk factors in Negeri Leahari is relatively high, highlighting the need for education on healthy eating, promotion of adequate physical activity, and routine monitoring of blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of further complications.
