Abstract One of the major variables that can influence a person's elevated blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is stress. As a result, stress management requires work for those with T2DM. This study looked at how blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes in the Pancur Batu Subdistrict was affected by stress management activities. The study used a pretest-posttest design for one group, making it quasi-experimental in character. The purposive sampling approach was utilized to acquire 30 samples from people with type 2 diabetes. The data were analyzed with a paired t-test. The findings revealed that there was a difference in the average blood glucose levels of patients with T2DM before and after stress management exercise (p = 0,001). Finally, stress management has an impact on blood glucose control in persons with type 2 diabetes.
