By Hidayat MT, Romdloni MA, G JDM et al.
Noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus are among the leading causes of morbidity among working-age and older adults in Indonesia. Sumbersono Village, Dlanggu District, Mojokerto Regency, is an area predominantly populated by older adults who are potentially at risk of elevated blood glucose levels. This community service activity aimed to increase community awareness of the importance of early detection of diabetes through random blood glucose testing and promote economic empowerment through the use of butterfly pea flower tea extract as a functional herbal product. Testing was conducted on 30 respondents who were residents of Sumbersono Village. This testing took place at Sumbersono Hamlet Hall using a POCT glucometer. The results showed that most respondents had blood glucose levels within normal limits, while five respondents showed indications of prediabetes. Empowerment activities were conducted through training in the preparation of butterfly pea flower extract and simple marketing strategies. The results of the activities showed increased health knowledge and community interest in locally based herbal products.
