Background: The numerous research results that have been conducted previously related to regular and measured exercise, proper eating and drinking patterns, restorative sleep and rest, constructive social bonds, stress management, the range of addictive and polluting substances, and the mediation of divine power, which previously focused on single studies. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the OPTIMUM Lifestyle Medicine program on blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus patients in North Nias Regency. Method: This research is an experimental study to evaluate the effect of the OPTIMUM Lifestyle Medicine program on blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus patients in North Nias Regency. This research is an experimental study with a quantitative descriptive approach with a one-group pre-post-test design. Patients' blood sugar was measured using a glucometer every month to evaluate the intervention and program that had been given. Results: The majority of samples in this study were male (53.5%), aged 46-55 years (43.8%), with a bachelor's degree (31.5%), and occupations as a farmer (36.8%), and 63% of those suffering from diabetes for 2-9 years. Patients' blood glucose levels before the OPTIMUM lifestyle medicine intervention were 214 mg/dL, decreasing to 204 mg/dL. Statistically, the Wilcoxon test showed a significant decrease in blood glucose before and after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000. Discussion: These results indicate a decrease in the average GDS levels in respondents, although the average GDS levels have not yet entered the normal range. Statistical test analysis also showed that the Wilcoxon hypothesis analysis was accepted. Conclusion: The OPTIMUM Lifestyle Medicine program focuses on lifestyle changes among respondents. The research found that the OPTIMUM Lifestyle Medicine program had an effect on blood glucose levels.
