What is Diabetic Foot Ulcer

A diabetic foot ulcer is a sore that arises on a diabetic's foot as a result of decreased sensitivity, nerve loss, or inadequate circulation. High blood sugar levels slow recovery. Ulcers, if not treated properly, can result in infections, tissue death, or amputation. Early detection and treatment are critical in avoiding problems.
