Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) is the study of the relationship between blood glucose levels and muscle strength, proprioseption, balance, decline and body composition. Tools and Methods: 40 patients in the age range 35-65 were included in our study with a type 2 DM diagnosis. The patient’s hunger blood sugar, HbA1c and B12 vitamins were recorded in the patient’s tracking files. During the study, patients were given the lower limb muscle test, the knee joint proprioseption assessment, balance and fall assessment tests, body mass index assessment. Results: The left knee found a meaningful relationship between 60° flektion position sensation and HbA1c (p=0,026, rs=0,352). The right knee found a meaningful relationship between 60° flektion position and APG (p=0,047, rs=0,316). There was no meaningful relationship between blood glucose levels and balance, muscle strength and body composition. The result: Patients with type 2 DM were found that the lower limb muscle strength and knee proprioseption sensations were in good condition, but when the eyes were closed and the visual input was eliminated, they showed a faster loss of balance and the proprioseption sensations were affected in this direction. Based on these data, we believe that adding balance exercises to the treatment programs in the early stages of patients with type 2 DM will have a protective effect in cases such as their future proprioseption and balance disorders.
