  • Description: Introduction: diabetes mellitus leads to many associated complications, including diabetic neuropathy and diabetic angiopathy, both with a high incidence in the onset diabetic foot and including also the diabetic retinopathy disease cause of blindness. Objective: determine if there is any correlation between the onset diabetes foot and whether or not diabetic retinopathy present in patients treated at the Hospital Provincial, María Eugenia Neto, Zaire, Republic of Angola, from September 2020 to September 2020. Method: a descriptive study was carried out in 181 patients treated in the diabetic foot department of the aforementioned hospital; variables described were as follow: age, sex, associated chronic diseases, presence or absence of diabetic retinopathy, lower limb ulcers, limb amputation and years with diabetes. Bivariate correlation tests were performed, and the Pearson´s correlation coefficient was analyzed. Results: the average age was 59.3 years, the age group over 70 years (28.2%) and the female sex (57.5%) predominated. The 41.8% of patients presented previous amputations and 40.1% had ulcers. The 65.19% of patients had irregular treatment patterns, statistically strong and significant correlation between diabetic foot and diabetic retinopathy. Conclusions: there is evidence of a strong and significant relationship between patients with diabetic foot, who may suffer from a certain degree of diabetic retinopathy, more frequent in females after their sixth decade of life that cause a longer evolution of his disease.
