Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Uncontrolled blood glucose can lead to microvascular and macrovascular complications. Buerger-Allen exercise (BAE) and Swedish massage are non-pharmacological therapies that may help control blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Purpose: To determine the effect of Buerger-Allen exercise and Swedish massage on blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Method: This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design with two comparative treatment groups. The study was conducted from February to April 2026 in the working area of ​​the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, involving 60 partisipants selected via purposive sampling. The intervention group (n=30) received Buerger-Allen exercise and Swedish massage, while the control group (n=30) performed walking exercises and slow deep breathing. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: Mean blood glucose levels decreased by 98.77 mg/dL in the intervention group and 28.03 mg/dL in the control group. A significant difference was observed between the two groups (p=0.000). Conclusion: The combination of Buerger-Allen exercise and Swedish massage proved effective in reducing blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This intervention resulted in a greater reduction compared to the control group. Suggestion: It is recommended that these two techniques be implemented as non-pharmacological therapies to control blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.   Keywords: Blood Glucose Levels; Buerger-Allen Exercise; Diabetes Mellitus; Swedish Massage.
