Blood samples were taken from 50 diabetics of Minangkabau ethnicity who met the inclusion criteria, and SNP genotyping and blood glucose levels were determined. DNA is extracted and purified from blood samples using DNAzolĀ® Genomic DNA Kits (Thermofischer Scientific) reagents. The Chi-square test and Independent sample T test were used to analyze the data. A statistically significant association was defined as a p-value &lt; 0.05. Finally, the GraphPad Prism 7.00 program was used to gather and analyze data.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>: The adjusted odds ratio for inadequate fasting blood glucose was 1.48 (95% CI 1.18-1.95) in this study, while the adjusted odds ratio for diet discipline was 1.23 (95% CI 1.18-1.95). The adjusted odds ratio for low physical activity was 1.18. (95% CI 1.05-1.81). According to the sequencing data, the proportion of mutants is high at exon 2 rs683369 (G&gt; C), while the percentage of wildtype and heterozygous mutants is the same at introns rs4646272 (T&gt; G).</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Obesity, diet discipline, and low physical activity were all found to increase the likelihood of insufficient fasting blood glucose in T2DM patients. Exon 2 rs683369 (G&gt; C) has a high proportion of mutants, but introns rs4646272 (T&gt; G) have the same percentage of wildtype and heterozygous mutants.</p> ER -
