Intervensi Nasi Rumput Laut dan Aktivitas Fisik untuk Menurunkan Kadar Glukosa Darah Penderita Diabetes dan Prediabetes

Abstract

Salah satu faktor yang berperan dalam peningkatan angka kejadian Diabetes Melitus (DM) adalah gaya hidup. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan agar mencegah jumlah penderita DM adalah dengan melakukan terapi gizi dan aktivitas fisik. Nasi rumput laut dapat menjadi alternatif sebagai pangan fungsional bagi penderita DM karena memberikan pengaruh penurunan kadar glukosa darah pada tikus uji coba. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh intervensi nasi rumput laut dan tingkat aktivitas fisik terhadap kadar glukosa darah pada penderita prediabetes dan DM tipe 2. Penelitian ini berbasis desain quasi experimental dengan rancangan prepost with control yang dilakukan pada akhir bulan Desember 2021 dan dilakukan selama 42 hari masa penelitian. Berdasarkan uji Mann Whitney, selisih penurunan kadar GDP kelompok intervensi tidak berbeda secara nyata dengan kelompok kontrol (p>0,05) meskipun terdapat penurunan kadar GDP. Hasil uji Mann Whitney menunjukkan aktivitas fisik berhubungan signifikan terbalik dengan kadar GDP (p<0.05). Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, intervensi konsumsi nasi rumput laut dan tingkat aktivitas fisik menurunkan kadar glukosa darah.

One of the factors that played a role in increasing the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is lifestyle. Efforts that can be made to prevent the number of people with DM are by doing nutritional therapy and physical activity. Seaweed rice could be an alternative as a functional food for DM sufferers because had the effect of reducing blood glucose levels in experimental rats. This study aims to analyze the effect of the seaweed rice intervention and the level of physical activity on blood glucose levels in patients with prediabetes and DM type 2. This study was based on a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post with control design which was conducted at the end of December 2021 and was conducted for 42 days research period. Based on the Mann Whitney test, the difference in GDP levels in the intervention group was not significantly different from the control group (p>0.05) even though there was a decrease in GDP levels. The results of the Mann Whitney test showed that physical activity had an inversely significant relationship with GDP levels (p<0.05). Based on research conducted, the intervention of consuming seaweed rice and physical activity levels lowered blood glucose levels.
