High glucose levels in people with diabetes/DM cause various changes in the body. One of the detrimental processes is called oxidation reaction which causes an increase in the formation of harmful substances called active radials. Red guava fruit (Psidium guajava L) is a tropical fruit, this fruit has been used for the treatment of Diabetes and other chronic diseases in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. Guava fruit is free from saturated fatty acids and sodium, low in fat and energy, but high in dietary fiber, in guava there are also alkaloids and flavonoids compounds that can reduce blood glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion and increasing cell sensitivity to insulin. To find out the description of blood glucose levels based on the habit of consuming red guava juice in DMT2 patients at the Basuki Rahmad Health Center, Bengkulu City in 2021. This study is a descriptive study. The total sample is 34, taken by simple random sampling from capillary blood of DMT2 patients in the working area of the Basuki Rahmad Health Center, Bengkulu City. The examination was carried out using the POCT method. it was found that most of the average blood glucose levels in respondents who had the habit of consuming red guava juice had high blood glucose levels. abnormal glucose levels were 8 respondents (333.2 ± 129.10) and a small proportion had normal glucose levels as many as 5 respondents (100.2 ± 5.1), while most of the blood glucose levels were in respondents who did not have the habit of consuming guava juice. red blood glucose levels have abnormal as many as 21 respondents (292 ± 120.9).AbstrakKadar glukosa tinggi pada penderita kencing manis/DM menyebabkan berbagai perubahan di dalam tubuh. Salah satu proses merugikan dinamakan reaksi oksidasi yang menyebabkan peningkatan pembentukan zat berbahaya yang disebut radial aktif. Buah jambu biji merah (Psidium guajava L) merupakan buah tropis, buah ini telah digunakan untuk pengobatan Diabetes dan penyakit kronis lainnya dalam pengobatan tradisional tiongkok sejak lama. Buah jambu biji bebas dari asam lemak jenuh dan sodium, rendah lemak dan energi, tetapi tinggi akan serat pangan, di dalam jambu biji juga terdapat senyawa alkaloid dan flavonoid yang dapat menurunkan kadar kadar glukosa darah dengan meningkatkan sekresi insulin dan meningkatkan sensitivitas sel terhadap insulin. Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar glukosa darah berdasarkan kebiasaan mengonsumsi jus jambu biji merah pada Penderita DMT2 di Puskesmas Basuki Rahmad Kota Bengkulu Tahun 2021. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif. Total sampel sebanyak 34, diambil secara simple random sampling dari darah kapiler Penderita DMT2 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Basuki Rahmad Kota Bengkulu. Pemeriksaan dilakukan menggunakan metode POCT. Didapakan bahwa sebagian besar rata-rata kadar glukosa darah pada responden yang mempunyai kebiasaan mengonsumsi jus jambu biji merah memiliki kadar glukosa abnormal sebanyak 8 responden (333,2 ± 129,10) dan sebagian kecil mempunyai kadar glukosa normal sebanyak 5 responden (100,2 ± 5,1), sedangkan sebagian besar kadar glukosa darah pada responden yang tidak mempunyai kebiasaan mengonsumsi jus jambu biji merah mempunyai kadar glukosa darah abnormal sebanyak 21 responden (292 ± 120,9)
