As the age of a person makes it easily infected with a disease such as diabetes. In this case, the food of people suffering from the disease must eat foods that are in accordance with the nutrients needed to reduce the patient’s blood sugar levels. Based on this problem, this study aims to develop a food combination system to help diabetics manage food according to patient criteria. This system requires criteria for producing food combinations and using genetic algorithm methods to produce the best alternative food combinations for diabetics. The combination of food resulted is taken based on the efficiency of chromosomes from genetic algorithms. The genetic algorithm accuracy calculation method reaches 100% by comparison with manual calculations from 5 test cases that have been made. From these results it can be concluded that the application of genetic algorithm methods is sufficient to assist diabetics in making food combinations that fit the patient’s criteria.
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.
