<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease marked by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion and/or action, often accompanied by fatigue that lowers patients' quality of life, while non-pharmacological interventions such as Soleus Push Up leg exercise are believed to enhance muscle glucose uptake and improve energy metabolism, though evidence on their effect on fatigue remains limited. This study aimed to determine the effect of Soleus Push Up leg exercise on blood glucose stability and fatigue levels among patients with Diabetes mellitus in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Kedungmundu, Semarang. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 55 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with blood glucose levels and fatigue measured before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant decrease in blood glucose levels after the intervention, and fatigue levels also decreased significantly. Most respondents were female, in late elderly age, and had suffered from Diabetes mellitus for more than two years. It can be concluded that Soleus Push Up leg exercise is effective in lowering blood glucose levels and reducing fatigue among patients with Diabetes mellitus. These findings imply that the exercise can be integrated by health workers as a simple, easy, and independently applicable non-pharmacological intervention in the daily management of Diabetes mellitus.]]>
