However, brown rice is an alternative dietary food source that is known to have many health benefits including high fibre content. In addition to fibre, brown rice is also reported to have moderate amounts of proteins, unsaturated lipids, several minerals, and a lot of bioactive substances that are highly beneficial to health. This study aims to prove the role of brown rice dietary intervention in the reduction of inflammatory biomarkers in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. \u0000Design and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a post-test conducted on 18 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the intervention phase I, all type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were given brown rice diet for 3 months and followed by a phase II intervention, in which white rice diet was given to the other group of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients for 3 months. Serum was collected at the end of each intervention stage and then serum for Tumour Necrosis Factor-α, Interleukin-6 and C-Reactive Proteins were analysed by the ELISA method. Statistical analysis of the t-test was conducted in order to determine the differences between the two groups allocated in the study. \u0000Results: At the end of the study, it was found that the levels of C-Reactive Protein, Tumour Necrosis Factor-α, and Interleukin-6 after the brown rice intervention was given to type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, it showed a decreasing trend compared to the white rice intervention although not significantly different (p = 0.6, p = 0.63, p = 0.59, respectively). \u0000Conclusions: This study concluded that the administration of brown rice dietary intervention to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for 3 months was able to reduce Tumour Necrosis Factor-α, C-Reactive Proteins, and Interleukin-6 however, the reduction was not significant to influence policy change. \u0000  \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":30412,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Lowresource Settings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45235516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, there is a need for a risk prediction test on foot abnormalities using the leg pain response parameters in T2DM patients with ankle-brachial index (ABI) and peripheral sensory changes as a preventive effort to manage foot care. \u0000Design and Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design in which 63 T2DM patients in a Public Health Center (PHC) in Malang were investigated. The instruments used include visual analog scale (VAS), monofilament, and foot doppler. \u0000Results: The Pearson correlation test showed no relationship between the responses to leg pain and the ABI of the right and left feet (p-values = 0.217 and 0.692), but there was a significant relationship between the left foot ABI and sensory status (p-value 0.002; left foot r = 0.383). Meanwhile, the Pearson's correlation and linear regression test also showed a relationship between the right foot ABI and sensory status (p-value = 0.007; r = 0.338). Furthermore, a multiple linear regression test showed a relationship between the leg pain response and sensory perception of the right and left feet (p-value = 0.035; r = 0.325). \u0000Conclusions: The relationship between the sensory status of the right and left feet and the response to leg pain in T2DM patients were moderate with a negative direction. It, therefore, implies that a decrease in the sensory responses increased the leg pain. Meanwhile, the moderate relationship and positive direction between the ABI and sensory status of the feet of T2DM patients indicates that a higher ABI score led to an increase in the sensory status of the foot.","PeriodicalId":30412,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare in Lowresource Settings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42823469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
