Ulkus kaki diabetik berulang merupakan komplikasi serius DM tipe 2 yang menjadi beban kesehatan global, nasional, maupun regional. Pendekatan biomedis semata tidak cukup tanpa mempertimbangkan faktor perilaku, psikososial, dan lingkungan yang melatarbelakangi kekambuhan. Melaporkan kasus kaki diabetes berulang pada lansia dengan pendekatan diagnosis holistik dan pengelolaan komprehensif kedokteran keluarga layanan primer. Tn. S, laki-laki 74 tahun, pensiunan sopir dump truck, datang dengan ulkus plantar kaki kiri akibat tertusuk serpihan kayu lantai rumah panggung pesisir. Pasien mengalami neuropati sensorik berat sehingga tidak menyadari adanya luka selama delapan hari. Latar belakang: DM Tipe 2 selama lima tahun dengan kontrol glikemik buruk, riwayat debridement kaki kanan tahun 2023, hipertensi Stage II, kepatuhan obat sangat rendah , diabetes distress tinggi serta risiko malnutrisi. Faktor eksternal meliputi rumah panggung berlantai kayu tua dengan serpihan kayu, lingkungan pesisir yang lembap, caregiver sesama lansia, dan keterbatasan ekonomi. Pengelolaan holistik dilakukan melalui pendekatan patient-centered care, family-focused care, dan community-oriented care. Pasien menjalani debridement dan mendapat terapi insulin, antihipertensi, serta antibiotik, disertai kunjungan rumah sebanyak dua kali. Pendekatan kedokteran keluarga yang komprehensif, meliputi skrining perilaku, geriatric, diagnosis holistik, dan intervensi berbasis rumah, merupakan strategi efektif untuk memutus siklus kekambuhan ulkus kaki diabetik pada populasi lansia rentan dengan multi-morbiditas dan keterbatasan sosial-ekonomi.
