The elderly group is a population that is vulnerable to physical, mental and social health. Susceptibility refers to the condition of individuals who are more sensitive to risk factors than others.

The activity was divided into 2 activity sessions, namely counseling about controlling blood glucose levels and checking blood glucose levels. Differences in the results of the pre and post test scores were analyzed using the paired t-test. After the extension activities were completed, blood glucose levels were checked for activity participants. Examination of blood glucose levels with the POCT method. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test result was 0.793 (p>0.05) so that the data distribution was normal. Furthermore, the paired t-test showed a result of 0.00 (p <0.05). The conclusion of community service activities in Wonorejo Village, Guntur District, Demak Regency is that the activities run smoothly.
