Others
NO
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.
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.

Treatment
| Behavior,custom | Other |
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.

Male and Female
1. Participants aged 18 years or older at the time of informed consent.
2. Participants diagnosed with diabetic autonomic neuropathy by a physician.
3. Participants with autonomic symptoms who are judged by the attending physician to be suspected of having autonomic neuropathy and who provide written informed consent.
1. Participants with severe cardiac disease (including arrhythmias).
2. Participants with an implanted pacemaker.
3. Participants judged to be medically unsuitable for the breathing intervention.
4. Participants who, in the judgment of the principal investigator, are unable to understand the study procedures, learn the breathing technique, or perform self-administered breathing training for one week due to cognitive impairment or other reasons.
