DIABETIC FOOT INFECTIONS - WOUND CARE SPECIALIST IN INDIA

People who have diabetes need to take proper care of their feet and maintain a healthy diet to keep their sugar level in control. No matter the type of diabetes, uncontrolled diabetes can cause severe life-threatening complications and diabetic foot infection is one of them. The extreme sugar level in the body can reduce blood circulation in the feet & hands and slow the healing process. About half of the people with diabetes have “Nerve Damage” in the legs and feet that lowers a patient’s ability to feel pain, heat, or cold. The condition is called “Diabetic neuropathy” while poor blood flow in the arms & legs causes an injury or sore complex to heal, leading to a condition known as "peripheral vascular disease." When wounds are not treated on time, it can cause an infection and lead to gangrene, amputation, or other potentially severe issues that may develop in people with diabetes including cellulitis (infection of the tissues beneath the skin) and osteomyelitis (infection of the bone), etc. If the patient notices skin discoloration, swelling, pain, drainage & foul odor from the wound, they should immediately contact Wound Care Surgeons. Treatment for diabetic foot infection & osteomyelitis may include antibiotics & pain medications or biopsy. In some cases, surgery may require removing the dead tissue.
