Interventions

OTHER

Acupressure Group

In the research, the participant in the acupressure group will receive acupressure application 3 times a week for 2 weeks, a total of 6 times. Depending on the preparation and pressure time on the 5 selected points (a total of 10 points will be applied since the partner of each point on the other extremity will be applied), the session duration for an individual will be approximately 18-20 minutes.

OTHER

Sham Acupressure Group

Depending on the preparation and pressure time on the 5 selected sham points (a total of 10 points will be applied since the partner of each point on the other extremity will be applied), the session duration for an individual will be approximately 18-20 minutes. Patients in the sham acupressure group will receive acupressure 6 times in total, 3 times a week for 2 weeks. The practitioner will do the first acupressure at the Family Health Center, and the person with type 2 diabetes will do the others at home. Ankle Brachial Index evaluation will be performed by the researcher at the Family Health Center a total of 3 times before the intervention, 1 week after the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention.
