Abstract
The number of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients has been increasing. Several risk factors linked with Type 2 DM are overweight, lack of exercises and an unhealthy diet. The level of zinc serum DM patients is also lower than that of non DM and this is associated with poor blood glucose control. The research objective is to reveal the correlation between BMI (Body Mass Index), physical activity, level of zinc serum with level of fasting blood glucose on Type 2 DM. The research used a cross sectional design. The study sample was 34 Type 2 DM patients in 3 health centers in the city of Surabaya that were taken by consecutive sampling method. The Rank-Sprearman correlation test analysis revealed that there were correlations between physical activities (p = 0,001, r=–0,592), zinc serum levels (p=0,050, r=–0,339) with fasting blood glucose, and that there were no correlations between BMI (p=0,680, r=–0,073) and fasting blood glucose levels. It was concluded that the research revealed that there were correlations between physical activities, zinc serum, and fasting blood glucose, and that there were no correlations between BMI and fasting blood glucose of Type 2 DM patients.
