To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a breathing training program using slow and deep breathing (6 breaths per minute) in patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To exploratorily evaluate the acute effects and the effects after one week of training on RMSSD (root mean square of successive differences).
To evaluate changes in autonomic symptom scores measured by the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score 31 (COMPASS-31).
To investigate the association between changes in RMSSD and changes in COMPASS-31 scores.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants will perform slow, deep breathing exercises at a pace of 6 breaths per minute. The intervention period will be one week, with participants receiving guidance from research staff at the start of the intervention. Thereafter, they will continue the exercises daily on their own. Heart rate variability and autonomic nervous system symptoms will be evaluated before and after the intervention.
