Abstract

Ajwah dates are commonly consumed by Prophet Muhammad. In hadith mentions the virtue of consuming Ajwah dates in an odd number of 7 dates. This research was conducted to determine the effect of date in introduction of odd number (7 dates) and even number (6 dates) to blood glucose. There 2 group was divided in this research group 1 was consuming Ajwah dates in odd number and group 2 was consuming Ajwah dates in even number. Sample was taken consecutive sampling, there were 20 respondents. Respondents fasted for 12 hours from 20.00 to 08.00. Respondents would be taken fasting blood glucose and then given Ajwah dates to be consumed. Subsequent intake of blood glucose in the 30 minutes, 60, 90, and postprandial blood glucose (120 minutes). The results showed that the average fasting blood glucose group 1 is 70.90 ± 8.77 and group 2 is 70.70 ±, 10.45, while on blood glucose postprandial (minute 120) group 1 is 66.50 ± 13.73 and group 2 is 76 ± 13.25. Postprandial blood glucose in group 1 indicates it should not wait for 2 hours to consume other types of food because before 2 hours, blood glucose has dropped beyond fasting blood glucose.
