Abstract
Introduction: The number of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in year 2001 was 5.6 million. In the year 2020, it is expected to reach 8.2 million. The diet of DM patients in Pulorejo village comprised low calorie, sugar free, and low fiber diet. Fiber consumed by these patients was taken from vegetables and banana. Unfortunately, the use of such diet keep the patient's blood sugar level remains increasing. The content of water-soluble fiber (pectin) in apple is higher and is able to reduce blood sugar level. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of apple consumption on blood sugar level. Method: This study was used a quasy-experimental pre-post test purposive sampling design. Samples who met to the inclusion criteria were 14 persons divided into treatment and control group. Data were analyzed by using Paired t-Test (α=0.05) and Independent t-Test (α=0.05). Result: The result showed that there was an effect of apple consumption on blood sugar level with Paired t-Test (p=0.000) for blood glucose level before and after intervention in treatment group, and (p=0.100) for blood glucose level before and after intervention in control group. The results of Independent t-Test revealed p=0.000 for blood glucose level after intervention in treatment and control groups. Discussion: It’s can be concluded that there was an effect of apple consumption on blood sugar level in DM patients. The apple should be given in the best dose that can reduce blood sugar level, which is 2 x 150 g. The result of this study can be considered in as a material for diet promotion for the patients. Further studies should be developed to measure the variables of stress and sex of the patients.

Summary
Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian Quasy Eksperimental Nonrandomized Control Group Pre–Post test Design. Penurunan rerata gula darah setelah pemberian buah apel pada kelompok perlakuan (dosis 2x150 gr) adalah 211 mg/dl. Penurunan rerata gula darah setelah pemberian buah apel pada kelompok kontrol (dosis 2x100 gr) adalah [52,14] mg/dl. Pada 2 responden kelompok kontrol hasil kadar gula darah setelah pemberian buah apel mengalami kenaikan yaitu 38 mg/dl dan 46 mg/dl. Hasil uji statistik Paired t-Test menunjukkan p=0,000, yang berarti ada pengaruh pemberian buah apel terhadap kadar gula darah pasien Diabetes Mellitus. Hasil uji statistik Paired t-Test menunjukkan p=0,100, berarti tidak ada pengaruh penurunan kadar gula darah dengan pemberian buah apel terhadap kadar gula darah pasien Diabetes Mellitus. Hasil uji statistik Independent t-Test kadar gula darah setelah pemberian buah apel pada kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol menunjukkan p=0,000, berarti ada pengaruh pemberian buah apel terhadap kadar gula darah pasien Diabetes Mellitus
