Specialized Wound Care for Diabetes
People with diabetes react differently to wounds of any kind, which requires unique care. Improper care of wounds can lead to serious consequences like severe infection, nerve damage, weakened skin or, in some cases, amputation of an infected limb. Uncontrolled diabetes can also affect circulation, causing blood to move more slowly, which makes it more difficult for the body to deliver nutrients to wounds, particularly on the feet and lower extremities. As a result, injuries heal slowly or might not heal at all.
