Abstract

People with diabetes mellitus need to keep their blood sugar levels (BGC) under control to prevent complications. BGC management can be done non-pharmacologically by combining foot reflexology massage therapy and cinnamon infusion. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of foot reflexology massage therapy and cinnamon infusion on blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study is a Pre Experimental study with a pretest-posttest model in one group (the one group pretest posttest). The study was conducted at the General Polyclinic of Glugur City Health Center. The study population was 30 people, and all of them were used as samples. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the Paired Sample T-Test at a 95% confidence level ( = 0.05). The results showed that before the administration of a combination of foot reflexology massage therapy and cinnamon infusion, the average blood sugar level of patients with diabetes mellitus was 213.67 ± 36.360. After therapy, the average blood sugar level decreased to 138.93±27.109. This combination of therapies had a significant effect on decreasing blood sugar levels with a p-value = 0.000 (<0.05). Blood sugar levels can decrease after being given a combination of foot reflexology massage therapy and cinnamon infusion. It is recommended that nurses apply this combination of therapies in the approach to caring for diabetes mellitus patients as an effective non-pharmacological alternative in lowering blood sugar levels.
