Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that occurs when there is an increase in glucose levels in the blood because the body cannot produce insulin or use insulin effectively. (IDF, 2017). This study will focus on analyzing the effectiveness of aerobic exercise programs. Method: The research method to be used in this study uses pre-experimental research methods, the research design used is one group pretest-postest design. Aims to find out the comparison before carrying out treatment and after carrying out treatment. The subjects of the study were diabetes mellitus patients totaling 12 people. Each subject took blood to determine the level of HbA1c blood sugar in the body and measured cognitive levels using a reaction action test (Ruller Test). Each subject also performed anthropometric tests using the Inbody tool to determine body composition and Fatmass levels. Results: In this study proved that there was a difference between the control group and the experimental group, between HbA1c, Cognitive, and Fatmass. The subjects' HbA1c decreased significantly, the subjects' cognitive increased significantly to their reactions and responses, and the subjects' Fatmass decreased significantly based on statistical tests. Conclusion: This study revealed that aerobic exercise programs can reduce HbA1c levels of people with diabetes mellitus, and can improve cognitive function to the reaction action and response of subjects, also reduce fatmass levels in the body. And there is no effect on fatmass to HbA1c.
