Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In 1728, Georg Ernest Stahl, a German physician first used the term “gastritis” to describe inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach. Inflammation refers to a physical condition in which a part of the body becomes irritated, reddened, swollen, and often painful. The objectives of this study were to investigate hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and euglycemia in Maflekumen students presenting with symptoms of gastritis. A laboratory based cross sectional study was carried out from December 2022 to March 2023. Fifty (50) students presenting with symptoms of gastritis were selected using a convenient sampling technique. A test strip was insert into the glucometer, and a small needle called lancet, provided with the test kit was used to prick the left side of the fingertip. Then, the edge of the strip was touch to drop of blood. And the blood sugar level of the participants displayed on the glucometer’s screen after a few seconds. The findings of this study revealed that 16 (32%) of students presenting with gastritis symptoms were having high blood glucose concentration hyperglycemia, 22 (44%) of students were having hypoglycemia and 12 (24%) showed euglycemia. Conclusively, majority of students presenting with symptoms of gastritis were having low glucose level in their blood (hypoglycemia) which makes glycemic imbalance an important factor on the virulence of gastritis disease. A constant control of the glycemic level is recommended to avoid harmful and complication of the disorder.
