The results showed that there was an effect of prolanis exercise on decreasing blood glucose levels in people with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the working area of the Namu Ukur Health Center with a value of 0.004 (α<0.05). Before treatment, blood sugar levels were an average of 270 mg/dL and 257 mg/dL after the treatment.
