The results show that in energy management, energy management in patients with diabetes mellitus is obtained with a good category of 55,9%. On fatigue, the median result is 60.50 with a min-max value of 34-73. The correlation test showed that there was a relationship between energy management and fatigue (p = 0,033, r = -0,366, = 0,05). There is a negative correlation which shows that the higher the energy management, the lower the fatigue felt. Fatigue felt by diabetic patients does not go away easily so that energy management must be carried out properly. It is expected that diabetes mellitus patients maintain good energy management.
