There are 28 samples from a total of 167 communities in the working area of Pampang and Antara Community Health Center who have diabetes risk factors. Levels of GDP, Anthropometry, knowledge level, and 24-h recall were taken from samples that were divided into two groups of cinnamon stew studio with a dose of 10 g + education for the intervention group and education for the control group. Data were analyzed using the will-coxon test and the Mann–Whitney test.</p><p><strong>RESULTS : </strong>The results showed that significant changes in GDP after giving cinnamon stew and education in the intervention group (p = 0.032), there was a change in GDP levels but not significant after providing education in the control group (p = 0.197), for the average difference change in GDP in the group intervention (−4.14) is greater than the control group (−2.50) but the magnitude of change in GDP is not significant, whereas there is no significant difference in GDP levels between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention (p = 0.270). Consumption of 10 g of cinnamon stew for 14 days can reduce fasting blood sugar levels.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>Based on the results of the study, there were significant changes in GDP after giving cinnamon stew and education in the intervention group, there was a change in GDP levels but not significant after providing education in the control group, the average change in the intervention group was greater than the control group but the change in GDP not significant, there was no significant difference in GDP levels between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention.</p> ER -
