- Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) is a metabolic disease due to disorders of the pancreas in producing insulin. Poor diet can cause abnormal blood sugar levels. The Mediterranean diet is a diet that is recommended for people with type 2 DM because it contains unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA), high antioxidants, and low glycemic index that can improve nutritional status and blood sugar levels. This study aims to describe the characteristics, nutritional status, and blood sugar levels of type 2 DM patients with a Mediterranean diet in a clinic that has Prolanis in Bandung. The research method used is descriptive with a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 24 patients with type 2 DM on the Mediterranean diet for one month. Sampling was done by consecutive sampling. Subject characteristics include age, gender, and level of education. The nutritional status examined included Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. The blood sugar levels checked in this study were fasting blood sugar levels. Most of the subjects were women with a mean age of 55.21 years and high school education level. Nutritional status based on BMI was obtained, namely obesity I, waist circumference obtained by female patients having a waist circumference> 80 cm and men having a waist circumference> 90 cm. The average fasting blood sugar levels were 149.67 mg / dl. The effect of the Mediterranean diet on type 2 diabetes patients shows that the mean fasting blood sugar levels and nutritional status have not reached normal values.
