<![CDATA[Background: Blood sugar levels are sugar found in the blood which is formed from carbohydrates in food and stored as glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscles. Long-term (chronic) hyperglycemia can cause microvascular complications such as kidney and eye disease as well as neurovascular complications. One non-pharmacological treatment for blood sugar levels can use green tea plants. Green tea does not undergo a fermentation process so that the substances contained in green tea have not undergone a change process. The main content of green tea is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is a bioactive ingredient that suppresses the pathogenicity of several chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. Objective: To determine the effect of green tea consumption on blood sugar levels. Method: This type of research is quantitative research using correlational methods. The sample for this study used a non-probability sampling technique, namely 30. Respondents were given green tea treatment. Give 5 grams of dried green tea leaves each and add 200ml water and drink while warm every day for 1 week in a row. The analysis used is the Paired Sample T-test for the univariate test while the bivariate test uses the Independent Sample T-test. Results: The average blood sugar level before being given green tea was 253.07 mg/dl and the average blood sugar level after being given green tea was 207.07 mg/dl. Conclusion: There is an effect of green tea consumption on blood sugar levels of 37,733 mg/dl with a ρ value of 0.000 < ɑ 0.05.]]>
