Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease caused by metabolic disorders that occur in the pancreas which are characterized by an increase in blood sugar or often referred to as hyperglycemia due to a decrease in the amount of insulin from the pancreas (American Diabetes Association, 2012). The most common type of diabetes mellitus is type 2 diabetes. One of the irreversible risk factors for diabetes mellitus is family history, and one of the reversible risk factors is dietary patterns. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family history and dietary patterns to the incidence of diabetes mellitus. A correlational analysis with a crosssectional approach was applied in this study. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The samples of this study were members of Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) in Ledug, Kembaran, Banyumas in June 2019. The samples were 480 respondents determined by the Slovin's formula. The type of data was the primary data obtained from questionnaire as the measurement instrument. The data analysis used was univariate frequency distribution and Chi-Square bivariate analysis. The results showed that there was no relationship between family history and the incidence of diabetes mellitus, but there was a relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of diabetes mellitus.
