Abstract
1. Introduction
: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease, which is characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can hinder clinical improvement of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
2. purpose
: This study aims to assess fasting blood glucose (GDP) levels and their association with DFU clinical improvement.
3. method
: This study used a clinically based cross-sectional study. Data on GDP levels and clinical improvement of diabetic ulcers were collected. Data were analyzed using the Chi square test with a significance limit of p <0.05.
4. Play Finding
: GDP levels are significantly associated with clinical improvement of diabetic ulcers
5. Implications
: This research can help patients understand the importance of controlling GDP for diabetic ulcer repair
