Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels. In general, DM sufferers often consume high carbohydrate intake, index and glycemic load. This is due to the consumption of food sources of carbohydrates that are not in accordance with the needs of DM sufferers. Carbohydrate intake, index and glycemic load can control blood glucose levels, the lower the carbohydrate intake, index and glycemic load, the lower blood glucose levels. This research was conducted to see if there was a relationship between carbohydrate intake, index and glycemic load with blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This research was descriptive in nature with a sample of 56 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were conducted from April to May 2023. The data was collected is the blood glucose level when examined in the laboratory of the Lubuk Buaya Health Center, Padang City. Carbohydrate intake was obtained by FFQ. Data on carbohydrate intake obtained were grouped based on index and glycemic load and then processed and analyzed statistically using the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that 55.4% of respondents had blood glucose levels that were higher than normal. As much as 62.5% consumed carbohydrates more than recommended, the type of high glycemic index was 69.6% and the high glycemic load was 80.4%. There is a significant relationship between carbohydrate intake, glycemic index and load with blood glucose levels. The relationship between carbohydrate intake, index and glycemic load and blood glucose levels shows a strong and positive relationship, which means that the higher the intake of carbohydrates, the index and glycemic load the higher the blood glucose level.
