The analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis using the dependent t-test. The results of this study found that the average blood sugar level before the autogenic relaxation intervention was 214.4 gr/dl, the average blood sugar level after autogenic relaxation was 205 gr/dl with a p value = 0,000 meaning that there was an effect of autogenic relaxation on decreasing levels blood sugar in type 2 DM patients.
