Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major non-communicable disease that requires long-term management through pharmacological treatment and lifestyle modification. Resistance training is recommended as an important component of diabetes management because it can improve skeletal muscle glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and functional capacity. However, structured resistance training education remains limited in many community-based chronic disease management programs. This study aimed to analyze a resistance training education and assistance program designed to support knowledge, practical skills, and self-efficacy in blood glucose management among Prolanis participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A descriptive program evaluation was conducted on May 17, 2025, at Yayasan Angsa Putih, Bandar Lampung, involving 60 active Prolanis participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The program consisted of interactive diabetes education, pre-exercise health screening, instructor-led movement demonstration, guided resistance training practice, and distribution of an illustrated exercise guidebook. The exercise protocol included simple bodyweight and low-load movements that could be performed independently at home, such as chair squat, wall push-up, seated leg extension, standing calf raise, hip abduction, shoulder press, and bicep curl. The findings showed that all participants completed the program and actively participated in the education and practice sessions. Participants showed improved understanding of the relationship between skeletal muscle activity, resistance training, and blood glucose management, and they were able to perform the exercise movements under supervision. The simple, equipment-free approach was well accepted and supported participant confidence to continue exercising independently. This program may serve as a feasible educational strategy to strengthen lifestyle-based diabetes management in Prolanis settings.
