Normality test using Shapiro-Wilk, Statistical analysis using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and multivariat of varians and Games-Howell test.
There were no difference of blood glucose before and after intervention in SE groups (p <0.05) in the provision of a chayote (sechium edule) instant intervention group decreased blood glucose levels by 6, 32 ± 22, 094 gr/dL; there were no difference of blood glucose before and after intervention in NE groups (p <0.05) in nutrition education training intervention group increased blood glucose levels by 10, 08 ± 52, 52 gr/dL; there were a difference in blood glucose before and after intervention in NE+SE groups (p<0, 05). in NE+SE intervention group decreased blood glucose levels by 26, 52 ± 23, 63 gr/dL. There were a difference in blood glucose levels after intervention in third groups(p<0, 05), and which has statistically significant differences in blood glucose levels were in the intervention NE group with intervention NE+SE group.
