Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or when the body can’t longer use insulin effectively. Dietary compliance in patients with diabetes mellitus has very important functions including maintaining body weight, lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. Adherence to a person's DM diet is largely determined by individual motivation and family support. Lack of family support means DM sufferers usually cannot control their diet, which results in high blood sugar. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between motivation and family support on dietary compliance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Pasar Rebo Health Center.
