Explore our treatment optionsWhy a diabetic foot wound needs attention
Diabetes can affect feeling in the feet and the circulation needed for healing. A small injury may go unnoticed when sensation is reduced. A foot wound deserves attention even when it is not painful.
At your visit, describe when the wound began, changes in drainage or skin color, and any footwear or pressure-relief devices you use. Ask how your wound care should fit with your diabetes care and which changes need a prompt call.
