Abstract

Abstact

Diabetes mellitus has become one of the four main non-communicable diseases that have become the target of follow-up in the world, where the number of cases and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus have continued to increase over the past few decades. Management of DM is education, diet control, drug therapy, physical exercise and routine KGD check to prevent complications so as to improve the quality of life of patients. An effective approach such as independent management education is needed so that people with DM want to routinely undergo management to prevent complications of DM. The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in blood glucose levels of patients with type 2 diabetes before and after self-management education was given. This type of research is a quasi experiment with pretest and posttest designs carried out at the Imelda Indonesian Workers Hospital. Samples were all 38 type 2 DM patients treated at the Indonesian Worker Imelda Hospital by 38 people. Data collection tool uses a glucometer. The test used is the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a difference in the value of blood glucose levels (p <0.05) before and after independent management education was given. The conclusion of the study was that independent management education had an effect on DM patients to independently manage DM which would produce controlled blood glucose levels. It is recommended that patients with type 2 diabetes implement independent management with the help of the family at home and the health service in order to control blood glucose levels.
