Summary
People with diabetes often experience abnormal blood fat levels, known as dyslipidemia, which increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. The aim of the study, researchers are exploring a natural and practical solution through a healthy snack in the form of cookies. These cookies are made from Golden Rice, which is rich in beta-carotene as a natural antioxidant, and Piper crocatum (red betel leaf) extract, which contains polyphenols and flavonoids that may help lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and protect blood vessels. In this study, patients with diabetes will consume the cookies for 28 days, and their blood fat levels will be measured before and after the intervention. The results will then be compared with those of a control group who receive the Golden rice cookies without piper crocatum extract. This research aims to show that Golden Rice with Piper crocatum extract cookies can reduce bad cholesterol and triglycerides, increase good cholesterol, and serve as a safe, affordable, and acceptable food option to support daily diabetes care. If successful, this approach may offer patients and families a simple way to help prevent complications and improve quality of life, alongside regular treatment and lifestyle changes.
