Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the mother of all diseases in Indonesia, and if left untreated, it can cause various other diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Based on IHS data in 2023, the types of diabetes mellitus control available in Indonesia include dietary control, exercise, and herbal choices. Based on the analysis of IHS data in 2023, this study aimed to examine the relationship between the prevalence of diabetes mellitus based on a doctor's diagnosis and the types of diabetes mellitus control available in Indonesia.

Methods: This research is quantitative and cross-sectional, using aggregate data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey report covering 38 provinces divided into seven regions. After the normality test was met, analysis was carried out using the Pearson correlation test.

Results: The results showed that the proportion of DM control type (diet management) was not related to the incidence of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.07), and the proportion of DM control type (exercise) (p = 0.36), but was related to the proportion of DM control type (herbal alternatives) (p = 0.00).

Conclusion: This study concludes that the type of DM control (eating and exercise management) is not related to the incidence of diabetes mellitus based on a doctor's diagnosis in Indonesia. In contrast, the type of DM control (herbal alternatives) is associated with the incidence of diabetes mellitus based on a doctor's diagnosis in Indonesia.
