Objective: to characterize the risk of unstable blood glucose in patients with lower limb wounds using latex associated with LED. Method: Prospective cohort study with sample n=15. Divided into three groups Group 1 dressing with latex and LED; Group 2 activated charcoal; and Group 3 performed self-healing with latex and LED and identified the risk of unstable blood glucose. Data analysis performed by SPSS® software. Results: Participants 60% men, age 59.93±10.88 years, risk factors for unstable blood glucose: daily physical activity less than recommended; insufficient knowledge of disease control, in all groups; compromised health condition groups I and III; insuffi-cient control of group I diabetes; lack of adherence to the diabetes control plan from beginning to end, except for group II. There was a reduction of wounds in all groups and better healing in group III. Conclusion: The major wounds were in group I and there was a reduction of wounds in all groups. The main risk factors for unstable glycemia daily physical activity less than rec-ommended at the beginning and at the end, compromised health condition groups I and III, insufficient knowledge of disease control in all groups.
