Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a clinical syndrome of disturbed metabolism of carbohydrates, protein, and fat that are associated with hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency. Worldwide, the incidence of diabetes has been increased. By the year 2030, over 347 million persons have diabetes. Nutrition therapy is an essential...

Background:
Nutrition therapy is considered a key component of diabetes management. Recently, high-protein diets have gained in popularity. Understanding the glycemic effect of dietary protein among patients with diabetes has been of particular interest.
Methods:
This study is based on NHANES data of 990 participants aged 40 years and older from...

Objective: Diabetes (diabetes mellitus [DM]) is a chronic disease affecting millions of people around the world with increment in its rate of incidence every year. Complications of diabetes are not only as health problem but also effect on the economic state of either patient himself or the whole society. Diabetes patients make several activities during their life because of DM, such as daily blood glucose measurement, regular physician visits, and others. In this study, we want to focus on the effect of health-care system and cost for the disease. Materials and Methods: This study involved the participation of 88 patients with diabetes type II. Their mean age was 53.37 ± 16.65. Mean body mass index was 31.17 ± 6.54. Several health status parameters were collected through specific formula made for this, method for measuring blood glucose level and patients' monthly visits to the clinic or medical center were studied. Results: Health status of participated patients shows high level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c); the complications (neuropathy and blurred vision) were higher than other complications. Chronic diseases were associated with diabetes also seen. Patients on regular physician visit have lower HbA1c in compare with other patients. Conclusions: Diabetes needs further and continuous work to get good results in their health and continuous education to encourage measuring blood glucose measuring, notice any complication occurrence and regular with scheduled physician visits.

p> Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease whose treatment takes a long time. DM has a bad impact on health because of serious complications, both microvascular and macrovascular. Epidemiologically, it is estimated that in 2030 the prevalence of DM in Indonesia will reach 21.3 million people. Almost 50% of patients with type 2 DM are patients aged 65 years and over. DM in the elderly is metabolically different from DM in other ages, so a different therapeutic approach is needed in this group. This is because the elderly have experienced physical and mental decline which results in a decrease in quality of life and a decrease in understanding the command to use the medicine. The CBIA (Community Based Intensive Approach) method which synergizes between nutrition ist and pharmacist is applied to increase knowledge of blood sugar levels and their control in elderly patients suffering from diabetes. This research is a quantitative pre-post-test design study, with a control design. Respondents were taken from 2 health centers in Bantul by purposive sampling method, and 60 elderly respondents were obtained who fit the inclusion criteria. The level of knowledge of elderly patients on blood sugar control is very important to support the achievement of a good quality of life for elderly DM patients. The results of measuring the level of knowledge after the intervention in the form of pharmaceutical and nutritional care together with the CBIA method experienced a significant increase compared to the control group. The level of knowledge of respondents before the intervention was given there were 4 respondents with low knowledge, 26 respondents with moderate knowledge, 30 respondents with high knowledge. It has increased to 58 with high knowledge, and 2 with low knowledge. This shows the effect of providing CBIA interventions that synergize between nutritionists and pharmacists in increasing elderly patients' knowledge of DM . </p
