Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to defects in insulin secretion or function. This Community Service Program aims to improve the understanding of community health workers and families of geriatric patients suffering from Diabetes Mellitus (DM) about the importance of a healthy lifestyle in managing the disease. With an approach based on healthy eating, stress management, and regular physical activity, the program targets the prevention of early complications of DM. Elderly people with diabetes are at high risk of complications such as heart disease, stroke, and functional impairments. Therefore, involving families in supporting patients' lifestyle changes is essential. This program includes counseling on blood sugar monitoring, meal planning, pharmacological interventions, and appropriate physical exercises for older adults. The results show that through education and training, families and health cadres can help patients better manage their diabetes, improve their quality of life, and prevent further complications. This program is expected to be expanded to significantly impact the prevention and management of diabetes in the community.

Diabetes melitus adalah gangguan metabolik yang ditandai dengan kadar gula darah yang tinggi akibat defek dalam sekresi atau kerja insulin. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman kader dan keluarga pasien geriatri yang menderita Diabetes Melitus (DM) mengenai pentingnya gaya hidup sehat dalam pengelolaan penyakit ini. Dengan pendekatan yang berbasis pada pola makan sehat, pengelolaan stres, dan aktivitas fisik yang teratur, program ini menargetkan pencegahan komplikasi dini DM. Lansia dengan diabetes berisiko tinggi mengalami komplikasi, seperti penyakit jantung, stroke, dan gangguan fungsional. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk melibatkan keluarga dalam mendukung perubahan gaya hidup sehat pasien. Program ini mencakup penyuluhan tentang pemeriksaan kadar gula darah, perencanaan makan, intervensi farmakologis, serta latihan fisik yang sesuai untuk lansia. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa melalui edukasi dan pelatihan, keluarga dan kader kesehatan dapat membantu pasien mengelola diabetes dengan lebih baik, meningkatkan kualitas hidup, dan mencegah komplikasi lebih lanjut. Program ini diharapkan dapat diperluas untuk menciptakan dampak lebih besar dalam pencegahan dan pengelolaan diabetes di masyarakat.
