diabetes mellitus in Indonesia increased by 1.6% from 6.9% in 2013 to 8.5% in 2018.

from the Klatak Health Center in 2021, there were 346 DM patients who routinely
took treatment at the Klatak Health Center with blood sugar levels of more than 200
mg/dL.
Risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus include age, physical activity, body mass
index (BMI), blood pressure, stress, lifestyle, family history, cholesterol, gestational
diabetes, history of glucose disorders and other disorders (De Graaf et al, 2016).
Uncontrolled and untreated diabetes mellitus can lead to complications. The main
complications that can arise are usually heart attack, kidney failure, stroke, and
gangrene. This complication can affect any individual who suffers from type 1 or type
