Pemberdayaan masyarakat merupakan proses yang memungkinkan masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kontrol atas kehidupan mereka.

A multifaceted approach is needed to prevent and treat diabetes. Community empowerment is a process that enables people to increase control over their lives. Empowering the community is expected to help overcome diabetes risk factors, especially modifiable factors such as diet, physical activity, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. This activity aimed to describe the health status, including BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, uric acid, and cholesterol, and empowering the community by increasing knowledge through health education regarding risk factors and prevention of diabetes. This activity was conducted on March 10, 2024. The learning methods included lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and return-demonstrations. The learning media used were PowerPoint presentations and teaching aids in the form of newspapers. The results of this activity showed that the majority had a normal BMI (41.71%), while others were overweight (35.58%) or obese (17.17%). Most had normal blood pressure (60.73%), but some cases of pre-hypertension and hypertension were observed. Most had abnormal blood glucose levels (52.14%) and cholesterol levels (69.32%). Health interventions are needed to manage these risk factors through community empowerment, ongoing health education, regular monitoring, and lifestyle modifications. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Community Empowerment, Health Education

Abstract

The Community Service Activity (PKM) in Binong Village addresses the high prevalence of Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and the limited knowledge of non-pharmacological therapies among patients. This initiative focuses on improving patient health through gardening therapy, which also serves as a practical, low-cost solution to reduce the economic burden of medication. The primary objective of this PKM is to enhance participants' understanding of DM management and increase their physical activity. The program was implemented in two stages. The first stage involved an educational session evaluated with pre- and post-quizzes. The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge, with the average score rising from 53.29 to 66.33 among 40 participants, a gain of 13.04 points. The second stage featured a competition where participants grew herbal plants like bay leaves, basil, and red betel leaves. The judging panel assessed the plants at the participants' homes in the third month. The overall outcomes demonstrate that the activity was effective in boosting participants' knowledge of gardening therapy and encouraged them to use their homegrown herbal plants to help manage their daily blood sugar levels.
