The mean age of the patients were only 23.8 months post-amputation. As many as 50% of amputations in patients with diabetes mellitus is estimated to be preventable if patients are taught preventive measures to treat the foot. Nurses as an important part of nursing caregiver should be able to contribute more in the Prevention of complications in diabetic patients, so we need new interventions to provide care. Aim this study determined the combined effect of foot exercises and hydrotherapy to increase peripheral circulation in patients with DM. The methods this study is an experimental research. The design study is a randomized controlled trial with the pretest-posttest control group. This study was using random sampling . The results are diabetes patients in this experiment consists of male 57.14%, not work 61.9% and 90.9%. not have foot ulcers. The average age of the respondents 56.8 years in the intervention group and 59, 5 in the control group. Average 4.33 years longer suffer DM in the intervention group and 59.5 years in the control group with the lowest age at 42 years. Blood  sugar levels respondents the average 221 mg / dL in the intervention group and 180.7 mg/dl in the control group. There was no difference in mean Ankle Brachial Index (ABPI) in the intervention and control groups. There was a relationship between the value of the long-suffering DM and ABPI.
