Abstract
Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that is currently a major health problem in Indonesia and one of the degenerative diseases which high morbidity at dr Rasidin Hospital.

This study involved 88 respondents. Fasting blood glucose using spectrophotometers method collected by medical analysts of a laboratory of dr Rasidin Hospital. Statistical calculation was done using simple linear regression. The result showed the average of blood glucose levels were 177.31 mg/dl. There was a significant positive correlation between age, blood pressure, body mass index and fasting blood glucose (P <0.001). Food habits and regular physical activity may prevent high blood pressure and high body mass index. It may help in prompt treatment or future preventive complications.
