Brief summary: Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which occurs when insulin is inadequate or the body's produced insulin cannot be used effectively, but according to the World Health Organization 2016 Global Report on Diabetes, it is an important public health problem that is one of the four priority non-infectious diseases. In addition to high mortality rates caused by diabetes-related complications, it is known that it can cause low quality of life and many additional problems in individuals. These complications and damage, which may be caused by diabetes, may result in reduced blood flow combined with neuropathy; As a result, foot ulcers, infections and consequently the need for amputation may increase. In addition to the additional complications caused by diabetic neuropathy, protective plantar sensory loss and decreased joint position have been reported in the literature. In particular, investigators did not find any comprehensive studies examining the relationship between these sensory changes and the dual task performance in diabetic subjects. In this study, investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between joint position sense, plantar sensation, balance and dual task performance in individuals with type 2 diabetes and to contribute to the literature with evidence-based, objective results.

Detailed description: The aim of this study is to investigate that the relationships between joint position sensation, plantar sensation, balance and dual task performance in type 2 diabetic patients.

First of all, a general evaluation form including demographic information and physical characteristics of the individuals who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and approve the informed consent form, will be filled. Then, with the first findings to be obtained, determination of sample size was planned. Bilateral ankle joint position sensation with goniometer, bilateral knee joint position sensation with an analog inclinometer (BASELINE® Bubble inclinometer-USA), plantar sensation with Semmens-Wenstein monofilaments, equilibrium with Prokin Isokinetic Balance System, dual task performance will be evaluated with adding motor and cognitive secondary tasks to the Time Up and Go Test and single leg balance tests.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* to accept to participate in the study voluntarily,
* to being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,
* to being 30-65 age range.

Exclusion Criteria:

* refuse to participate in the study,
* Not cooperating,
* Being orthopedic, neurological and any other systemic disease,
* Being pregnant,
* Loss of vision,
* Loss of hearing,
* To be a standing diabetic ulcer,
* A Mini Mental Test score of 23 or less.
