<![CDATA[Increasing prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to various complications, including diabetic foot ulcers, which can risk amputation. Diabetic foot exercise nursing intervention is considered effective as a preventive measure. This study aims to describe the implementation of this intervention in the Masohi Community Health Center. Using a case study design, the subjects included two patients with type II DM for 5-10 years. Data collection involved interviews, vital sign measurements, and diabetic foot ulcer risk assessment using Inlow's 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screening Tool before and after the intervention. The results showed that the first subject experienced a reduction in diabetic foot ulcer risk scores from 8 to 6 on the left foot and from 5 to 3 on the right foot, alongside a decrease in random blood glucose levels (GDS) from 387 mg/dL to 255 mg/dL. For the second subject, the ulcer risk score decreased from 5 to 3 on the left foot and from 8 to 6 on the right foot, with GDS dropping from 339 mg/dL to 250 mg/dL. These findings indicate that diabetic foot exercise effectively reduces ulcer risk and aids in blood glucose control. This study is expected to provide a reference for community health centers and educational institutions in implementing diabetic foot exercise nursing interventions for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers in type II DM patients.]]>
