Most Diabetes Melitus treatments are always associated with diabetic ulcers. Death rates and amputation rates are still high, respectively at 32.5% and 23.5%. The fate of patients with post-amputation Diabetes Melitus is still very bad, as many as 14.3% will die within a year after amputation and 37% will die 3 years after amputation. It has been&nbsp; mentioned in previous clinical studies that uncontrolled diabetes mellitus was associated with elevated HbA1c&nbsp; levels associated with the development of retinopathy as well as other complications, with a research reference value r = 0.079.</p><p><strong>Methods :</strong> The study involved Diabetes Melitus patients with diabetic foot diagnosis in Thoracic, Cardiac, and&nbsp; Vascular&nbsp; Surgery Polyclinic Department of Surgical and Inpatient Surgery RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan&nbsp; period&nbsp; January 2014- December 2016 with a total sample of 70 people.</p><p><strong>Result :</strong> The mean age of study subjects was 55.65 + 12.25. In the table shows that the study subjects based on the most gender were men with 47 subjects (67%). The mean of Glycosilated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 6.4 + 2.44 mg / dL with the most patients found &nbsp;at HbA1c &lt;7 mg / dL level of&nbsp; 49 patients (70%). The result of the analysis is p = 0.0001 (p &lt;0,05) this means there is significant relation between Glycosilated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and diabetic foot. Also obtained OR = 3.1 (CI = 95%, p &lt;0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Bivariatically there was a significant correlation between Glycosilated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and diabetic foot with p = 0.0001 and Odd Ratio of OR = 3,1 (CI = 95%, p &lt;0,05). For the mean result of Glycosilated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 6.4 + 2.44 mg / dL with the highest HbA1c &lt;7 mg / dL of 49 patients (70%).</p> ER -
