Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin function. One of the chronic complications that often occurs is peripheral neuropathy, which is characterized by decreased foot sensitivity. Diabetic foot exercises are a non-pharmacological therapy that can help improve blood circulation and improve peripheral nerve function. To improve patients' knowledge and ability to perform foot exercises and observe their effects on foot sensitivity and blood glucose levels. Community service activities were carried out using the methods of socialization, demonstration, and evaluation of 20 type 2 DM patients in the Rengasdengklok ward of Karawang Regional Hospital. Activities included counseling, foot exercise practice, and blood glucose level checks before and after the intervention. Participants showed an increase in knowledge from 62% to 92%. After performing foot exercises regularly for three days, there was a decrease in blood glucose levels by an average of 20–30 mg/dL and increased foot sensitivity. Socialization of the application of foot exercises effectively increased the knowledge and ability of type 2 DM patients and helped lower blood glucose levels and improve foot sensitivity.

Abstract

High uric acid (gout arthritis) is a metabolic disorder caused by increased uric acid levels in the blood, which causes joint pain and inflammation. One complementary therapy that can be used is consuming boiled water from Moringa oleifera leaves, which contain active compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that play a role in lowering uric acid levels. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of the community in the work area of ​​the Sukatani Community Health Center UPTD, Purwakarta Regency, in administering boiled water from Moringa leaves to lower uric acid levels. The activity implementation method uses a lecture, demonstration, and simulation approach. The activity participated in 40 people consisting of the general public and health cadres. Evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to assess knowledge gains, as well as observation of skills during the simulation practice. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge from an average of 58% (pre-test) to 89% (post-test). In addition, 90% of participants were able to simulate chest compressions and artificial ventilation with the correct technique. Participants also showed high enthusiasm in participating in the entire series of activities. Socialization and training on the use of boiled moringa leaves have proven effective in increasing the knowledge and skills of the community in the Sukatani Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area. Boiled moringa leaves effectively reduced uric acid levels in respondents with mild to moderate gouty arthritis. This therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological, complementary alternative to help control uric acid levels naturally
