Consumption of crispy arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea Linn), blood glucose and angiotensin II level, and blood pressure in type 2
diabetes
Background: The mortality of DM caused by cardiovascular complication is about 75% can be reduce by using food with low glycemic index. The level of fiber consumption on DM sufferers is low (12.08±3.80 gr/day). Crispy arrowroot has 14 glycemic index. The purpose of this study is to know the influence of crispy arrowroot giving to the fasting plasma glucose, angiotensin II rate and blood pressure and also to study the correlation between angiotensin II and blood pressure before and after the giving of crispy arrowroot. Method: This research used quasi-experimental design of pre and post test one group design, the subjects were 14 DMT2 female sufferers (35 to 60 years old), the length of suffering from DM was ?1 year, and used insulin therapy. The giving of crispy arrowroot was 20 gr/day for four weeks. The determination of fasting blood glucose rate used colorimetry, angiotensin II rate used ELISA sandwich method and blood pressure used spignomanometer. The data analysis used paired t test and regression test. Results: Consumption of crispy arrowroot does not increase fasting blood sugar (p=0.551), or decrease angiotensin II (p=0.550), and systolic-diastolic blood pressure (psystolic=0.518; pdiastolic=0.216). Conclusion: Crispy arrowroot of 20 g/day for 4 weeks does not give any benefit to DM type 2 patients.
