Abstract


Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or action. Psychological factors such as anxiety may influence glycemic control through stress-related hormonal responses, including increased cortisol and adrenaline. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between anxiety levels and fasting blood glucose among Prolanis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Klinik Iman. This descriptive analytic study employed a cross-sectional design involving 37 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), while fasting blood glucose levels were obtained using a glucometer after 8–12 hours of fasting. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed a strong and statistically significant positive correlation between anxiety levels and fasting blood glucose (r = 0.686; p < 0.001), indicating that higher anxiety was associated with higher fasting blood glucose levels. Significant correlations were also found in female, pre-elderly, elderly, and intermediate education levels. These findings suggest that psychological factors, particularly anxiety, play an important role in glycemic control and should be considered in comprehensive management strategies for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
