Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of diabetic foot exercise on improving blood circulation among diabetic patients. Design: This case study utilized a descriptive method on two diabetic patients in Teratai Room, RSU Wonolangan Probolinggo. Foot exercise intervention was implemented three times weekly for 15–20 minutes.
