Abstract
Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance and/or impaired insulin secretion. This disease can lead to various complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease if not properly controlled. In addition to pharmacological therapy, one complementary therapy that can be used to help lower blood sugar levels is acupressure therapy. Acupressure is a technique of applying pressure to specific points on the body that aims to facilitate energy and blood circulation, thereby helping to increase insulin sensitivity and control blood sugar levels. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study was conducted in Aek Parombunan Village in 2024. The population in this study were Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients undergoing treatment in the area, with a sample of 30 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after acupressure therapy. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the average blood sugar level before acupressure therapy was higher than after therapy. Most respondents experienced a decrease in blood sugar levels after receiving regular acupressure intervention. Statistical test results showed a p-value <0.05, indicating acupressure therapy had an effect on reducing blood sugar levels in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Aek Parombunan Village in 2024
