Background: One of the typical signs of diabetes mellitus (DM) is hyperglycemia, which is one medical condition that consists of increasing hormone levels within normal limits. Basic Health Research Results in 2018 DM prevalence in Indonesia increased from 6.9% in 2013 to 8.5% in 2018 (Ministry of Health, 2018). One of the nutritional therapies for the management of diabetes mellitus is fiber consumption. Fruit which contains high fiber, one of which is dragon fruit. Research by Wiardani et al., (2014) provides dragon fruit juice 200 grams of blood glucose levels in DM patients with an average decrease in Prondrial 2 hours Post blood calcium level (2JPP) of 79.1 mg / dL and research by Hidayati (2017) ) by giving red dragon fruit 200 grams of reduction in fasting blood by 19.1 mg / dL.Purpose :To determine the difference in levels of red dragon fruit (hylocereus polyrhizus) against decreasing fasting blood glucose levels of type 2 diabetes patien Method: Research quasy experimental pre post test with control group. Results: The results of the statistical analysis paired with the t-test in the assessment group showed differences in the fasting blood levels of the pretest-posttest with a p value of 0.008 (p <0.05), meaning that it was consistent with contributions related to blood count before and replacement. The results of the independent t-test showed that there was no difference in the difference between fasting blood levels in the advisory group and the control group that discussed the p value of 0.070. (p> 0.05).Conclusion: There is no contribution of giving red dragon fruit milk pudding (Hylocereus polyrhizus) to the reduction of blood glucose levels of type II diabetes mellitus patients.

ABSTRAKPendahuluan: Hasil Riskesdas 2010 menunjukkan bahwa Cakupan tertinggi terdapat pada bayi kelompok umur 0 bulan (39,8 %) dan terendah pada bayi dengan kelompok umur 5 bulan (15,3 %). Prevalensi balita stunting (pendek+sangat pendek) di propinsi NTB adalah 43,7% Angka tersebut berada di atas angka nasional (36,5%), dan secara umum masalah balita stunting (pendek+sangat pendek) di provinsi NTB masih cukup tinggi karena memiliki prevalensi di atas 20%. Untuk itu peneliti melakukan penelitian untuk mencari model pendampingan yang tepat,sebaagai salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi masalah status gizi. Metode: Disain penelitiannya adalah rancangan penelitian Eksperimen Sederhana dengan jenis post-test only control group design. Penelitian akan dilaksankan di Madiun-Jawa Timur dan Mataram-NTB, mulai April s/d Oktober 2015. Hasil: Ada perbedaan yang signifikan praktek pemberian ASI eksklusif dari ibu yang mendapatkan pendampingan dengan metode home visit dengan ibu yang tidak mendapat pendampingan. Bayi dari ibu yang mendapatkan pendampingan mempunyai peluang/kesempatan untuk menyusui ASI saja sebesar 9,333 kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan bayi dari ibu yang tidak mendapat pendampingan. Z-score balita dari ibu yang mendapat pendampingan mempunyai nilai sedikit lebih tinggi dibandingkan yang tidak mendapat pendampingan, namun secara statistik tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan status gizi balita 0-3 bulan dari kedua kelompok. Pembahasan: Sehubungan dengan hasil tersebut direkomenadasikan untuk menggunakan model pendampingan "home visit pada ibu hamil trimester 3" agar praktek pemberian ASI eksklusif meningkat. Kata Kunci: Pendampingan Ibu Hamil Trimester III, Home Visit,ASI, Status Gizi ABSTRACT Introduction:Results of Riskesdas in 2010 showed that the highest coverage was on 0 month age group infants (39,8%) and the lowest was on 5 months age group infants (15,3). Prevalence of stunted chlidren (short + very short) in NTB (West Nusa Tenggara) province is 43,7%. That rate is above the national rate (36,5%) and in general, stunted children problem in NTB province is still quite high because of the prevalence is over 20%. Therefore, the researchers conducted research to find exact mentoring model as an effort to solve nutritional status problems. Methods: The research design was simple experimental research design with the type of post-test only control group design. The research was conducted in Madiun-East java and Mataram-NTB started from April until October 2015. Result: There was a significant difference in exclusive breastfeeding practice between mothers who received the mentoring through home visit method with mothers who did not receive the mentoring. Infants of mothers who received the mentoring had opportunity / chance to breastfeed 9,333 times higher than infants of mothers who did not receive the mentoring. Discussion: Z-score of infants of mothers who received the mentoring had sligtly higher score than infants of mothers who did not receive the mentoring, but statistically there was no significant diff...

Background : School-age children need balanced nutrition to  increase concentration and receive knowledge so that they can support learning activities. For this reason, it is necessary to provide lunch so that adequate nutrition is met. The purpose of this study was to analyze the availability of macro nutrients on the lunch menu presented in Insan Mulia Kediri's integrated Islamic elementary school (SDIT) towards the nutritional adequacy of school children. Method : This type of research used observational analytics from time including crosscestional research Methods of data collection using interviews, observation, and documentation. Sampling uses systematic random sampling technique with a sample of 216 students from a population of 442 students. Processing data using a distribution table and then presented in the form of tables and bar charts. Results : The provision of lunch menus by catering for 4 days, namely the average availability of macro-energy nutrients of 573 kcal, protein 15.3 grams, fat 7.0 grams, and carbohydrates 111.6 grams. The availability of energy is based on the adequacy of school children in more categories as many as 98 people (45.4%) and in the less category as many as 64 people (29.6%), Protein in the category of more than 101 people (46.8%), fat availability in the category there are 214 people (99.1%), and the availability of carbohydrates in the category is 151 people (69.9%). Conclusion : In general, the average availability of energy, protein, fat has fulfilled the adequacy of nutrition except fat. There is a significant relationship between the availability of macro nutrients and the nutritional adequacy of school children, which is 0.00 (p<0.05), so that the higher availability of macro nutrients is provided, the higher the nutritional adequacy of school children can be  fulfilled.

Background : The metabolic syndrome (MS) as a collection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. One alternative food intake that can reduce the risk of MS by consuming synbiotics, which is a combination of probiotics with prebiotics. Prebiotics in the form of inulin, Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), and resistant starch cannot be digested in the small intestine so that probiotic bacteria will be fermented in the colon and produce Short Chained Fatty Acid (SCFA), so that hypoglycemic effects can occur. Objectives : To know the effect of giving synbiotic to blood glucose levels on MS. Research Methods : Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with a pretest-posttest with control group design in metabolic syndrome patients domiciled in Mataram. A total of 24 subjects were divided into 2 groups: the treatment group by administering sinbiotic yogurt with kepok banana flour was 260 ml / day for 14 days, while the control group was not treated. Results : The Blood paired t test results showed differences in the mean glucose level in the treatment group before and after the intervention was 7.83 ± 21.319 mg / dL (p = 0.229), while the control group was -2.25 ± 18.202 mg / dL (p = 0.677). The difference in the decrease in glucose levels of the two groups is 10,083 ± 8.092 mg / dL (p = 0.226) which shows insignificant differences. Conclusion : There is no effect of sinbiotic yogurt to blood glucose levels in metabolic syndrome patients
