Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin production or effectiveness. Indonesia has a high prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers. One alternative therapy is the use of soursop leaves which contain active compounds such as flavonoids and tannins that can lower blood sugar levels. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-test post-test approach. The sample consisted of 30 respondents with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who were divided into control and intervention groups (15 respondents each). The intervention group was given 150 ml of soursop leaf decoction daily for 7 days. Data on blood sugar levels before and after the intervention were measured using a glucometer, and analyzed using a Paired T-test. The results showed that blood sugar levels in the intervention group experienced a significant decrease from all respondents who had high blood sugar levels (>200 mg/dL) before the intervention to almost all normal (100-140 mg/dL) after administering the soursop leaf decoction (p = 0.000). Meanwhile, in the control group, blood sugar levels remained largely high. Soursop leaf decoction was effective in lowering blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This therapy can be a non-pharmacological alternative in managing diabetes mellitus.
