Analysis of the data with Wilcoxon found differences before and before wound care (p = 0.008 <0.05), then Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. Therefore, there is an effect of wound care using aloe vera and honey on diabetic wound healing in patients with diabetes mellitus at the Griya Husada Clinic, Kediri City.
