Background: Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is one of the most common late complications of diabetes, which significantly affects the quality of life of patients with   diabetes.

Aim: The aim of the paper is to interpret the results of the analysis of the acting determinants in patients with diabetic foot  syndrome.

Methods: The method of analysis of medical records of patients with diabetic foot syndrome was used. The group included 30 patients with dg. Type I DM with complication of diabetic foot syndrome.

Results: The average age of the respondents was 34.67 years. The BMI of men was statistically higher than that of women. The average duration of DM was 13.67 years,  the average duration of non-healing wounds was 2.2 months. The glycated hemoglobin HbA1c values of all three measurements, as well as the total mean values of all three measurements, statistically significantly exceeded he reference value of 7.5%. HbA1c values were not related to gender,  age, or BMI values of respondents. There was a significant correlation between the duration of the non-healing  wound and HbA1c values (r = 0.6396) and adherence to dietary principles and HbA1c (p = 0,0094 < α = 0,01).

Conclusion: Glycated hemoglobin levels, as a manifestation of diabetes compensation, are related to the incidence and duration of non-healing wounds. Non-compliance with regimen measures indicates the need for more effective education of patients with dg. diabetes mellitus, searching for people at risk at risk for diabetic foot syndrome. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary in the prevention and care of diabetic  foot.

Keywords: diabetes mellitus I. type, diabetic foot syndrome, glycated hemoglobin, regime measures
