The quality of life of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients has decreased due to complications. DM complications can be minimized or controlled or prevented by efforts to prevent, control and treat DM appropriately and quickly so that the quality of life of people with type 2 DM can improve. It is known that Senda Lara improves the quality of life for people with type 2 DM. Method this type of research is Quasi Experimental with a "Prettest and Posttest design with control group" design. The sampling technique was random sampling, the data collection technique was carried out using the Diabetes Quality of Life Brief Clinical Inventory quality of life instrument and examination of HbA1c levels. The sample size was 60 respondents consisting of 30 intervention group and 30 control group respondents. Data analysis used the T test. Results the characteristics of the respondents ranged in age from 36.7 – 63.3 years, mostly female, had elementary school education, had DM for 4-5 years, the mean quality of life score of respondents before doing SENDA LARA was 57.3 with SD 4.69 and the average score after doing SENDA LARA for 3 months the quality of life score was 62.23, with SD 5.1. Meanwhile, in the group who did not do SENDA LARA, the previous quality of life score was 55.73 with SD 5.61 after 3 months to 56.13 with SD 5.41, with a p value of 0.00. The increase in the quality of life score of respondents who did SENDA LARA was 5.82, SD 2.68, while the increase in the quality of life of respondents who did not do SENDA LARA was only 3 with SD 1.35, p value 0.00 (0 < 0.05) meaning that there was a difference in the increase in quality of life for respondents who did SENDA LARA with those who don't SEND LARA.
