<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to disruption of insulin function, which can cause death, so it needs to be treated. Point of Care Test (POCT) is a commonly used examination method. However, the POCT's tool is difficult to be accessed by all people and causes pain in the sampling process. Therefore, it is necessary to develop alternatives test without the puncture process and using simple tools found in daily life. Education is needed to increase public awareness of diabetes. In this study, a qualitative measurement method of salivary pH was developed to indicate increased blood sugar levels using secang wood called Yucang strip e-tutor equipped with a website containing information about diabetes, Yucang strip, and health facilities in Bali. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of Yucang e-tutors in primary care in diabetes cases. The research was descriptive in the form of an analysis of the difference in strip color between respondents with normal and high sugar levels. The sample of this study was 20 people, consisting of ten normal people and ten people with diabetes. Statistical analysis of diabetes and non-diabetes respondents showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in strip color. Respondents' assessment of the Yucang e-tutor obtained an average score of 4.66 out of 5, indicating that the respondents like the website. It can be concluded that the e-tutor-based Yucang strip is helpful in primary health care efforts against diabetes mellitus with education as health promotion, strip test as early detection, and facilitating respondents access to contact health facilities.]]>
