Hubungan Pengetahuan dan Kepatuhan Diet dalam Pengendalian Kadar Gula Darah pada Pasien Diabetes Melitus di Puskesmas Kalijudan

Pendahuluan : Diabetes melitus (DM) adalah gangguan metabolik kronis
dengan peningkatan kadar glukosa darah akibat gangguan sekresi atau kerja insulin. DM terbagi menjadi dua jenis: tipe 1, karena kerusakan autoimun sel beta pankreas, dan tipe 2, akibat resistensi insulin yang dipengaruhi faktor genetik dan gaya hidup. Komplikasinya meliputi penyakit kardiovaskular, nefropati, neuropati, dan retinopati. Pengelolaan dilakukan melalui pola makan sehat, aktivitas fisik, kepatuhan obat, dan pemantauan gula darah secara rutin.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan kepatuhan diet dalam pengendalian kadar gula darah pada pasien diabetes melitus di Puskesmas Kalijudan.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik probability sampling di mana seluruh pasien DM berpeluang menjadi responden penelitian. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan membagikan kuesioner kepada 44 responden, yaitu pasien DM di Puskesmas Kalijudan, dengan metode door to door. Hasil: Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan kepatuhan diet, dengan nilai korelasi sebesar 0,613 yang termasuk dalam kategori hubungan kuat. Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil analisis, tingkat pengetahuan dan kepatuhan diet dalam pengendalian kadar gula darah pada pasien diabetes melitus di Puskesmas Kalijudan tergolong cukup. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan dengan kepatuhan diet dalam mengendalikan kadar gula darah.

Complications of diabetes mellitus can include cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Diabetes management includes regulating diet, physical activity, use of medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels regularly. Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between knowledge and dietary compliance in controlling blood sugar levels in DM patients at the Kalijudan Community Health Center. This research method uses a probability sampling technique where all DM patients can become research respondents. To collect data, the author distributed questionnaires to 44 respondents, namely DM patients at the Kalijudan Community Health Center, using a door to door method. Results: The results of the research analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and dietary compliance. with a value of 0.613 (strong relationship). Conclusion: based on the results of the analysis, it shows that the level of knowledge and dietary compliance in controlling blood sugar levels at the Kalijudan Community Health Center is categorized as sufficient, so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge and dietary compliance in controlling blood sugar levels at the Kalijudan Community Health Center.
