Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to abnormal insulin secretion. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by increased blood sugar levels exceeding normal limits, due to a deficiency of the insulin hormone produced by the pancreas, causing a decrease in blood sugar levels. This study aims to determine the effect of physical activity on reducing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Literature searches were conducted on the following databases: PubMed, Embes, Web of Science, and Scopus.

Criteria: Articles in English, published in internationally recognized journals, and discussing physical activity in relation to lowering blood glucose levels. Results: Fifteen studies ranging in size from 28 to 100 participants physical activity is effective in lowering blood glucose levels with regular exercise three times a week physical exercise can be applied to the age range of 30-85 years.
