Physical exercise is the initial effort to prevent, control, and overcome diabetes. explains that physical exercise causes an increase in blood pressure, more capillary nets are opened so that more insulin receptors are available and receptors become more active which will affect the decrease in glucose in diabetic patients. Diabetics who do walking exercise at least 2 hours / week, compared with inactive individuals, have a mortality rate of 30% lower and the death rate due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) is 34% lower. Based on the results of several expert studies and preliminary observations conducted by researchers at the Langsa Kota Health Center, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was found to be a disease that ranks in the top three of the 20 most diseases. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of road training to decrease blood sugar levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients in Langsa Kota Health Center.
