Sampling Assistance Using the Poct Cholesterol Tool for Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in the Working Area of Puskesmas Ome

Abstract

Diabetes has now become the seventh cause of death in all age groups in Indonesia. There is a tendency for non-communicable diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) to increase. This is due to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors that continue to develop in society. DM patients have the potential to suffer various complications if their glucose levels are not controlled. The rapid pace of technology has caused many laboratory equipment manufacturers to create a tool that can be used by both the health community and the non-health community. However, in preparing samples for examination, a phlebotomy technique is needed. Poor phlebotomy technique will affect the examination results issued by the portable device. This community service activity aims to provide knowledge and health checks related to sampling using a poct cholesterol tool for people with Diabetes Mellitus in the Work Area of the Ome Health Center. The methods used in this community service are lectures, question and answer and health checks, practicum (demonstrations), posttests and monitoring evaluations which are carried out 2 weeks later. The results of this community service resulted in the ability to use the POCT tool independently.
