The aim of this study was to analyze the combination of diabetic foot spa and sauna bathing therapy and its impact on blood glucose levels.

Methods: The data studied were blood glucose levels. This data can be obtained after administering a combination of diabetic foot spa and sauna bathing and afterward. Then this data was analyzed using an independent t test with p value of 0.000 (p <0.005).

Results: : This study showed that 60 respondents, mostly 58.3% were aged 45- 60 years, almost half of the respondents (48.3%) had suffered from DM for <1- 5 years, (70%) women, from the independent t test obtained blood glucose p value= 0.000 (p <0.05).

Conclusion: There was a decrease level of blood glucose after the patients receive the diabetic foot spa and sauna bathing therapy.
