The physical culture professional makes important contributions, such as the implementation of physical exercise, to the programs applied in rehabilitation. The objective of this work was to develop a methodology to improve the health-oriented physical condition in type 2 diabetic patients, complicated by distal peripheral diabetic neuropathy. A quasi-experimental design study was carried out with pretest and posttest in two groups, lasting two years (2022-2023), and the sample was randomly selected using the raffle procedure. Theoretical and empirical methods such as analysis-synthesis, inductive deductive, systemic-structural-functional, measurement, experiment and descriptive statistics were used, as well as research techniques such as documentary analysis, observation, interview and survey. The diagnosis made showed difficulties with the alteration of the somatosensory system and gait, high risk of falls, and problems in mobility, swing and equilibrium; therefore, a methodology aimed at the health of these patients was proposed in Granma; the study showed improvements in physical condition through the implementation of specific therapeutic physical exercises.
