Infection :-

In Diabetes , cuts and wounds heal slowly .  Wound healing is delayed in diabetics because of neuropathy , hyperglycaemia and ischaemia. They are prone to tuberculosis and infections of theskin, urinary tract and foot. Diabetics should take special precautions and keep it clean to prevent infection of the skin and foot.

There are several key factors in the appropriate treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer :-

• Taking the pressure off the area, called “off-loading”
• Removing dead skin and tissue, called “debridement”
• Applying medication or dressings to the ulcer
