Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from decreased insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurement is commonly used to monitor DM, requiring patients to fast for a minimum of eight hours. Insufficient insulin production impairs glucose uptake into body tissues, leading to hyperglycemia. Chronic hyperglycemia subsequently stimulates the production of inflammatory cytokines, which promotes the hepatic synthesis of C-reactive protein (CRP).Objective: This study aims to determine the relation between FBG and CRP levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at Mangusada Hospital.Method: An observational analytic study was conducted using purposive sampling, with a total sample of 25 T2DM patients.Result: The lowest FBG level was 126 mg/dL, while the highest was 319 mg/dL. The lowest CRP level was 0.2 mg/L, whereas the highest was 23.7 mg/L. High FBG and CRP levels were observed in 44% of respondents, while high FBG with normal CRP levels were found in 56%. The highest FBG (319 mg/dL) also exhibited the highest CRP level (23.7 mg/L) The non-parametric Spearman’s rank correlation revealed a significant association between FBG and CRP levels with p-value of 0.012 (0.05) and r = 0.493 indicated a positive and moderate correlation.Conclusion: There is a positive, moderate correlation between FBG and CRP levels in T2DM patients at Mangusada Hospital.

Abstract

Stroke is a brain dysfunction with various clinical manifestations that occurs suddenly due to impaired cerebral blood circulation. In Indonesia, stroke remains the leading cause of death and disability with an increasing prevalence. Promotive and preventive efforts are a priority to reduce morbidity, disability, and mortality due to stroke. This community service activity is a promotional intervention in the form of counseling and education about stroke and a preventive intervention in the form of screening for stroke risk factors in the elderly community. Screening was conducted for eight stroke risk factors, including blood pressure, heart rhythm, smoking status, cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus, physical activity, body mass index, and family history of stroke. The activity was attended by 40 elderly people, consisting of 20 men (50%) and 20 women (50%). Based on the total stroke risk score, 20 people (36.4%) had a high risk of stroke, 29 people (52.9%) had a moderate risk of stroke, and 6 people (10.9%) had a low risk of stroke. The total number of participants with moderate to high risk reached 89.1%. The group with moderate to high risk requires follow-up and risk factor therapy to prevent future stroke events. The stroke risk card in this activity is expected to be used more widely in various health facilities and communities as a screening and education tool.
