Jayalekshmi L S, Binsu Mathew

Abstract :

 A pre experimental research study was conducted using quantitative approach with the main objective to assess the effect of progressive muscle exercise on glycemic control among diabetic patients. The study was conducted at a selected community, 41 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been recruited using purposive sampling technique. Setting permission, informed consent has been obtained prior to data collection. Tools used for data collection were; Section A consists of socio- demographic variables, Section B consists of clinical variables, Tool 2 was the tool for assessing the effectiveness of glycemic control by checking the pre and post HbA1c values. The results showed that the calculated t value is -.3884 which is less than the actual t value 1.68. Hence the null hypothesis is accepted, there was no significant relationship between progressive muscle exercise and glycemic control.
