The Impact of Frailty in Type 2 Diabetes

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of our work; To investigate the effect of frailty on balance and fall risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes.The reason why participants the investigators invited to the study is participants diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes.During the research, a questionnaire form (age, gender, educational status, etc.) in which participants demographic information will be recorded for evaluation purposes and a consent form for participation in the study will be filled. Standardized Mini Mental Test will be applied. Then fragility will be evaluated with the Fried Fragility Index. Fall assessment will be assessed with the Fall Risk Self-Assessment Scale and balance assessment will be made with the Tinetti Balance. participants will not need to spend a long time for all assessments. The time required for the assessment will be around 30 minutes.
