Data collection was using Diabetic Management Self Efficacy Scale, Notthingham Assessment Foot Care Behavior and 10gram monofilament test measurements. Demographic characteristics analysis using univariate tests, bivariate analysis with paired t-test and independent t-test. Results: There was a significant effect on the intervention group to increase self-efficacy p-value =0.011 (p< 0.005) and foot care behavior p-value =0.032 (p< 0.005). Based on the independent t-test, it was shown that the intervention had no effect on the increase in foot sensitivity p-value = 0.141 (p< 0.005). Recommendation: Educare diabetic education and exercise program has an effect on improving self-efficacy and foot care behavior.
