Abstract

Smoking prevalence in Indonesia continues to increase annually, contributing to a higher incidence of smoking-related diseases. One condition associated with smoking is diabetes mellitus, as nicotine interferes with insulin function and may elevate blood glucose levels. Conversely, nicotine can also suppress appetite, potentially leading to hypoglycemia. This study aimed to examine the association between smoking status and random blood glucose levels among employees in Gading Subdistrict, Tambaksari, Surabaya. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. Primary data were collected using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and random blood glucose measurement with an Accu-Chek device. Sampling was performed using consecutive sampling, involving 100 respondents. Normality testing was conducted with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and bivariate analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation with a significance level of ≤ 0.05. The results showed a p-value of 0.004 and a correlation coefficient of 0.28, indicating a positive and moderate relationship between smoking status and random blood glucose levels. These findings suggest that smoking behavior contributes to increased blood glucose levels among employees in Gading Subdistrict. The study highlights the importance of smoking cessation
