Detailed Description
Thirty patients with DM will be included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the participants will be evaluated by ABC form and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS ) will be used for all the patients.
ABC scale is a self-assessment test with 16 items that helps assess balance impairments and falling risk, and it also investigates how confident people are while they are in some specific activities both indoors, and outdoors. Total score changes between 0-100.
The HbA1c values of all patients will be noted if a blood test will be performed in the last three months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Validity of the Turkish Version of Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale in Patients With Diagnosis of the Diabetes Mellitus Before. [A single point in time (1 day)]
The Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) is a structured questionnaire that measures an individual's confidence in performing activities without losing balance. Total score ranges from 0% to 100%. Lower than 50 %: low level; 50-80 %: moderate level above 80 %: high level of physical functioning
