The research sample will consist of 78 individuals with type 2 diabetes (39 intervention group - 39 control group). Diabetes education will be given to the participants in the intervention (experimental) group of the research with the motivational interview method based on the Transtheoretic Model. The interviews will be completed at the end of 2 months, with a total of 6 sessions in the first month (4 sessions per month) and once every 15 days in the 2nd month (2 sessions per month). Participants in the control group will be given standard diabetes education. Participants in the intervention (experimental) and control groups will be asked to follow the habit of exercising regularly and blood sugar.
