The Effect of Diabetes Mellitus Sport Application Education on Knowledge of Activities and Stability of Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by increased blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and glucose intolerance, which is caused by the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the body not being able to use the insulin it produces effectively. Disturbed insulin production can cause sugar to accumulate in the blood, which can cause various complications and the problem of unstable blood glucose levels often arises in diabetes mellitus. Method: Literature review was carried out based on issues, methodology, equations and research journals. Of the 6 studies used, each used the same research method, namely Quasi-experimental, with a pre and posttest research design with control design. Discussion: The "DM SPORT" application offers features that guide diabetes patients in engaging in physical activity Conclusion: Based on 6 studies, it was found that educational methods greatly influence knowledge of physical activity and blood glucose stability in diabetes patients.
