This study aims to determine the description of diabetic wound care using hydrogel as a modern dressing in the development of BWAT scores. The research design uses a case study method and consisting of 2 samples with grade II-III diabetic ulcers at Pedis Care Malang.

The healing process of diabetic ulcer wounds is also influenced by the nutrients that enter the body, one of which is protein which plays a role in cell formation.
