The abdominal circumference was measured using metlin, and fasting blood glucose was measured using glucometer. The analytical tests used Spearman. There were a correlation between sugar consumption (p = 0.000, r = 0.613) and abdominal circumference (p = 0.028; r = 0.352) with fasting blood glucose but there was no correlation between fat to fasting blood glucose.
