PERBEDAAN PEMERIKSAAN KADAR GLUKOSA DARAH PUASA PADA PROLANIS LANSIA MENGGUNAKAN SPEKTROFOTOMETER DAN GLUKOMETER

One way to confirm the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus is to check the results of the instantaneous glucose level (GDS) which is >200 mg/dl and check the fasting blood glucose level (GDP) which is >126 mg/dl. Blood glucose checks can use two tools, namely a glucometer (Point of Care Test) and a spectrophotometer. The advantage of the glucometer (POCT) is that it is easy to use and can be used by nurses, patients and families to monitor patients. On the other hand, spectrophotometers are often used in clinical laboratories because they are considered the most appropriate tool for describing blood glucose. The subjects of this research were elderly prolanis at the Salamah Clinic, East Jakarta. This research is December 2023 – February 2024.
Method What was used was GOD-PAP on a spectrophotometer and electrochemical (POCT) on a glucometer with a sampling technique using purposive sampling for 25 respondents. The data used is primary data, namely a questionnaire regarding fasting blood glucose levels in elderly prolanis. Data analysis was carried out using the Paired sample t-test analysis test. The aim of this study was to determine differences in fasting blood glucose levels in the elderly using a spectrophotometer and glucometer. The results of this study show a significant difference where sig = 0.000 or T count on blood glucose levels using a spectrophotometer and glucometer 7.135 > 2.06866 T table. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is a difference in fasting blood glucose levels in elderly prolanis using a spectrophotometer giving an average value of 130.88 mg/dl, while using a glucometer gives an average value of 177.28 mg/dl.
