Materials and Methods: In this interventional study with a pre-post design on 100 type-2 diabetes patients, were taught MSRT. Assessment were carried out on the 1 and 30 day of the program, using FSS, VAFS. Results: Significant reduction in fatigue levels in both FSS and VAFS respectively (p<0.00). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that MSRT practice is an effective, economical and noninvasive method to combat fatigue in diabetes patients.
