Abstract

Blood glucose stability is important for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in order to reduce the risk of co-morbidity due to diabetes mellitus. The stability of blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus was influenced by several factors such as age, sex, duration of illness, race, diabetes history, knowledge, diet, and activity. This study aims were to determine the factors that correlate with the patient’s blood glucose stability. This study use cross-sectional approach with 120 samples recruited using a consecutive approach and used Google forms to collect the data. This study analysis used The Independent t- test and Pearson’s correlation test to find out a correlation between variables. Study results shows that most respondents are female, comes from the Sundanese ethnicity, has less five years of diabetes history, have a high education level, have family members with diabetes mellitus, and have co-morbidity. This study also shows that the average of respondent was 41 years old, had a high level of knowledge, was quite active, was adhere to undergo treatment, was adhere to a diet, and had stable blood glucose. Statistical tests shows that age (p-value 0.000), gender (p-value 0.024), ethnicity (p-value 0.009), level of education (p-value 0.000), co-morbidity (p-value .003), and knowledge (p-value 0.037) affect the blood glucose stability in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patient. This study does not find the correlation of other variables with the stability of blood glucose which may be related to the physical condition of the patient and other factors.
