Diabetic Foot Ulcer Management Overview by Rhapsody Red is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. Diabetic foot ulcers and infections are common complications of diabetes that often require amputation. Uncontrolled blood sugars, poor circulation, neuropathy, and foot deformities increase risk. 2. Diabetic neuropathy damages sensation and causes dry, cracked skin prone to injury. Hypomobility syndrome limits joint movement. These factors combine with pressure to cause ulcers. 3. Infections are classified as cellulitis, abscess, or osteomyelitis. Imaging and bone biopsy help diagnose osteomyelitis.
