complications in people with DM.
Objective: to find out how far the correlation between fasting blood sugar levels
and uric acid levels of geriatric patients with DM type II.
Method: the method used is the observational method with a cross sectional
study, the sample used is 40 samples conducted in the Prolanis group of
Gamping 1 Health Center, Gamping 2, Godean 2 and Panti Tresna Wredha
Yogyakarta held in June 2018 until the number of samples is fulfilled, according

acid and the age of the patient. Data analysis using chi square correlation test.
Results: Characteristics based on sex: men are 18 (45%), women are 22 (55%).
Characteristics based on fasting blood sugar: uncontrolled DM are 29 (72.5%),
controlled DM are 11 (27.5%). Characteristics based on uric acid levels: normal
are 26 (65%), and high are 14 (35%). And the analysis of the correlation
between fasting blood sugar levels and uric acid levels obtained p = 0.226.
Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between fasting blood sugar
levels and uric acid levels of geriatric patients with DM type II.
