Sugar disease or diabetes is commonly known in medical terms with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) that occurs due to the body's lack of the hormone insulin both absolute and relative. Glucose is a form of carbohydrate metabolism that functions as the main source of energy controlled by insulin. Excess glucose is converted into glycogen which will be stored in the liver and muscles for backup if needed. Increased blood glucose levels occur in patients with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (TGT), Impaired Fasting Blood Sugar (GDPT) and Diabetes Mellitus. Service activities in the form of education related to the dangers of Diabetes Mellitus, the use of natural ingredients as an alternative to lowering sugar levels and checking Random Blood Sugar levels. There is an increase in public knowledge because the post-test value is higher when compared to the pre-test value. The average pre-test score is 38.3 points while the average post-test score is 79.2 points. And the results of the GDA examination stated 23 people whose results were above normal and 13 people whose results were still within the normal range.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels in patients with DM are mostly challenging to control, and this will threaten the occurrence of complications. Alternative therapies used are active flavonoids in reducing blood glucose. The purpose of this study was to analyze the decrease in blood sugar levels by administering cherry leaves stew and black onions to mice (mus musculus). The design of this study was the Quasy Experimental design (pretest-posttest with control group design). The sample in this study was 32 mice, 16 in the intervention group, and 16 comparison groups. There are independent variables (Kersen Leaf Stew and Black Onion Extract) and the dependent variable (Blood Glucose Level). The data were collected using an observation sheet, then analyzed using the independent sample T-test and Kolmogorov Smirnov test. The results of this study showed that the pre and post administration of cherry leaf decoction was 36.5 mg/dl, and the difference between pre and post administration of black onion extract was 24.3 mg/dl. While the analysis showed p = value 0.98, it showed no difference in the effectiveness of the two extracts in reducing blood sugar levels in mice. Obtained comparative test results from the two extracts were equally effective in lowering blood sugar in mice. Thus further research needs to be done with more samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
