The Head of the Community Service Team, Pugoh Santoso, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D.Eng., stated that this activity was held in response to the high prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia. Data from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) places Indonesia as the country with the fifth-highest number of diabetes cases in the world, ranking below China, India, Pakistan, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This situation is becoming increasingly alarming because data from the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) and the Indonesia Health Survey (SKI) show that the disease has affected individuals in the productive age group of 20\u201379 years. In fact, around 86 percent of people with diabetes remain undiagnosed and 70 percent are uncontrolled, meaning that most of the population is living with high risk without realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDiabetes is not only a medical issue, but also a matter of lifestyle. That is why we chose an educational approach that is simple and easily accepted by families,\u201d said Pugoh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program showcased cross-disciplinary synergy between chemists and medical professionals. Serving as a resource person, Dr. Muhammad Firhat Idrus, Sp.PD., SubSp.GEH, noted that the activity is effective for early detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMany people only realize they are at risk of diabetes when complications begin to appear. Screenings like this help detect the early signs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to clinical material, the team also provided nutrition education. According to Samira Husen Alamudi, S.Si., Ph.D., the public still has limited understanding of the different types of diabetes and their associated risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe explained eating patterns, ideal portions, and foods that contain hidden sugars. The goal is for residents to be able to apply this directly in their daily lives,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Head of RW 15, Sabarudin, expressed his appreciation for the implementation of the program, which has now entered its third year. He hopes that the program can continue to be held sustainably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHaving specialist doctors involved this year has made residents even more enthusiastic. Our hope is that this activity can be held regularly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Vice Dean of FMIPA UI, who is also a resident of RW 15, Prof. Dr. rer.nat. Budiawan, stated that health screenings like this are greatly needed by the community, especially the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cParameters such as blood sugar and cholesterol are important to monitor, yet many people have not had the opportunity to get checked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Head of the Department of Chemistry at FMIPA UI, Asep Saefumillah, stated that the community service program (Pengmas) is the university\u2019s effort to strengthen its role within society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe knowledge we possess becomes meaningful when it can be applied directly. For us, success is not merely about the number of participants, but about changes in behavior,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pugoh emphasized the importance of maintaining the continuity of the program and expanding its reach. He hopes that the education provided will encourage the community to become more aware of the importance of early prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDiabetes is the result of long-term habits. That is why education must continue. Prevention is better than cure,\u201d he said, closing the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Suasana Lapangan Basket RW 15, Kelurahan Tugu, Kecamatan Cimanggis, pada Minggu (12\/10\/2025) tampak berbeda dari biasanya.
