<![CDATA[Background: The increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus is closely related to lifestyle changes such as an unhealthy diet high in sugar, fat, and salt, lack of physical activity, obesity, sedentary behavior due to excessive use of gadgets, and prolonged stress. These factors are the main triggers for insulin resistance and increased blood glucose. Stress in diabetic patients can lead to increased blood glucose or hyperglycemia. Stress among people with diabetes can be caused by many factors. Uncontrolled chronic hyperglycemia accompanied by a long duration of DM increases the risk of complications. As a nonpharmacological hyperglycemia management effort, autogenic relaxation is often referred to as Self-Hypnosis which is a self-directed technique to lower stress through the integration of visual imagination and body awareness.
