Introduction:The study evaluated of microalbuminuria as a predictor of heart failure in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.Materials and methods:The prospective study conducted in a period of time from 01-Feb-2007 to 01-Feb-2010.The study included 100 patients with type 2 diabetes, who had diabetes longer than 5 years. All subjects (average age 66 ± 10 years, 33% male, 67% female) were tested for the presence of microalbuminuria, and 50 patients had microalbuminuria. The second group comprised 50 patients without of microalbuminuria with diabetes mellitus type 2.Results:In the patients with microalbuminuria and diabetes mellitus were found 22% of heart failure and 6% in the second group. Average time to the occurance of heart failure in the first group was 32,5 months, in the second group was 35,3 months.Conclusions:The results show that microalbuminuria is an independent risk factor for heart failure in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and microalbuminuria. Patients without microalbuminuria had 3,7 less likely to development heart failure compared to patients with microalbuminuria and diabetes mellitus.

Background: Elderly as a group at risk of susceptible to health problems due to physiological decline in the body, one of them is diabetes mellitus type 2. Elderly diabetes mellitus type 2 requires good management both pharmacologically and non pharmacologically. Non-pharmacological management that can control blood glucose levels in the elderly is autogenic relaxation therapy with lavender aromatherapy. Autogenic relaxation is mind body therapy that focuses on heart rate and breath regulation. Aromatherapy lavender is a therapy that uses essential oils that can calm the mind. This scientific work aims to analyze effect of combination therapy of autogenic relaxation and lavender aromatherapy to amount blood sugar in elderly people with diabetes mellitus type 2. Methods: This study used a quasi experimental pre test and post test method without control group. Sampling using a purposive sampling method of 16 respondents. Therapy is done 2 times a day for 15 minutes in each session within 30 days with 10 meetings and blood glucose checks. The analysis test used the paired T-Test. Results: The results of the Paired T-Test statistical test showed a significant decrease in average blood glucose levels of 83.75 mg/dL with a value of p = 0.000. Conclusion: Combination therapy of autogenic relaxation and lavenderaromatherapy are effective for reducing blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is expected that the elderly with diabetes mellitus type 2 can perform autogenic relaxation therapy and lavender aromatherapy routinely so that blood glucose levels can decrease.
