2. Figure 1
Baseline HbA1c correlates with poor wound healing in patients with diabetes. Wound healing in an individual with HbA1c of 5.6% (a–d) and in an individual with HbA1c of 11.1% (e–i). Wound healing per day is 0.35cm2 for the individual with HbA1c of 5.6% (panel a). The wound is shown at the first clinic visit (panels b and c) and healed at the last clinic visit 64 days later (panel d). Wound healing per day is 0.001cm2 for the individual with HbA1c of 11.1% (panel e). The wound is shown at the first clinic visit (panels f and g), and at the last clinic visit 727 days later (panels h and i). HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c.

Baseline HbA1c is inversely associated with adjusted mean wound area healed per day (cm2 per day). Model is adjusted for the demographic variables of age, gender, and race/ethnicity. HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c.
