Diabetic Foot Ulcers: What You Need to Know

Diabetic foot ulcers are one of the most serious complications for people living with diabetes, and if not treated promptly, they can lead to severe infections or even amputation. These ulcers typically develop on the bottom of the foot due to nerve damage and poor circulation, both common in diabetes. Because reduced sensation makes it harder to notice injuries, small cuts or blisters can quickly worsen. Preventing diabetic foot ulcers starts with daily foot checks, wearing proper footwear, and keeping blood sugar levels under control. At Progressive Wound Care, we provide advanced treatments, including offloading techniques, specialized dressings, and preventive education, to help patients avoid life-altering complications.
