A study testing Swedish massage in addition to routine nursing care of the unit for diabetes. and yoga exercises in addition to routine nursing care of the unit for diabetes. in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Swedish massage (SM) and yoga are complementary non-pharmacological techniques that have recently been used in managing chronic disorders such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Both techniques play an important role in reducing stress, which contributes to lowering blood glucose levels in children with T1DM. Read more about this study

Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is one of the best effective non-pharmacological techniques, which decreases stress in children because it influences mental and physical conditions. It can be applied by making the muscles maximally strain, and then loosening it until the muscle is relaxed. It is repeated until children acquire complete relaxation (Casman \& Nurhaeni, 2018).
Progressive muscle relaxation leads to regulation of autonomic nervous system activity that potentially contributes to medical management of T1DM through improving in glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) (Paschali et al., 2020). Swedish massage and Progressive muscle relaxation had an effective role in decreasing blood glucose level in children with T1DM, so that the pediatric nurse should apply and educate care giver about Swedish massage and PMR techniques (Ismaili et al., 2018)

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Fasting blood glucose
measures sugar in your blood after an 8-12 hour fast (only water allowed), primarily to check for diabetes or prediabetes by showing your baseline sugar levels, with normal being under 100 mg/dL, prediabetes 100-125 mg/dL, and diabetes 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests,
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Random Blood sugar
measures blood sugar levels at any time, without fasting, to screen for diabetes, with normal for healthy adults generally under 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L). Levels between 140-199 mg/dL suggest prediabetes, while 200 mg/dL or higher often indicates diabetes,
Measured: 6 weeks
Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c).
a blood test measuring average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months by showing the percentage of sugar-coated hemoglobin in red blood cells,
Measured: 6 weeks
