2. Wounds on the legs in individuals with
diabetes can be a serious concern
due to the potential complications
associated with impaired wound
healing. Diabetes can affect the
blood flow, immune system and
nerve function, leading to slower
healing and an increased risk of
infections. Here are some common
causes and potential treatments for
diabetic wound healing on the legs
in people.

3. Causes:
The Wish Clinic
Peripheral neuropathy: Diabetes can
damage nerves, leading to a loss of
sensation in the extremities. Patients may
not feel injuries or wounds, allowing them
to go unnoticed and untreated.
Poor circulation: Diabetes can cause
blood vessel damage, reducing blood
flow to the legs. This impaired circulation
can slow down the healing process.

4. High blood sugar levels: Elevated blood
glucose levels can weaken the immune
system, making it more difficult for the
body to fight infections.
Foot deformities: Diabetes can lead to
changes in the structure of the feet,
such as hammertoes or Charcot foot,
increasing the risk of pressure points
and ulcers.

5. Infection: Once a wound occurs, the
compromised immune system in diabetes
patients makes them more susceptible to
infections.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): PAD is a
common complication of diabetes that involves
the narrowing of arteries, reducing blood flow to
the legs. This condition contributes to delayed
wound healing and increases the risk of
infections.

6. THE WISH CLINIC
Treatment:
Wound care: Proper wound care is
crucial. Clean the wound gently with mild
soap and water. Avoid using hot water
and harsh chemicals. Keep the wound
dry and covered with a sterile dressing.
Poor circulation: Diabetes can cause
blood vessel damage, reducing blood
flow to the legs. This impaired circulation
can slow down the healing process.

7. Offloading pressure: If the wound is on
the foot, using special footwear or
offloading devices can help reduce
pressure on the affected area,
promoting healing.
Blood sugar control: Maintaining
optimal blood glucose levels is essential
for overall health and effective wound
healing. Consistent monitoring and
adherence to diabetes management
plans are crucial.

8. Vascular interventions: In cases of poor
circulation, interventions such as angioplasty or
vascular surgery may be necessary to improve
blood flow to the affected area.
Wound debridement: Removal of dead or
infected tissue from the wound, known as
debridement, may be performed by a
healthcare professional to facilitate healing.

9. Compression therapy: For venous ulcers,
compression therapy may be recommended to
improve blood flow and reduce swelling.
Regular check-ups: Routine monitoring by
healthcare professionals is essential for early
detection and management of any
complications.

10. CONCLUSIONS
Individuals with diabetes should
work closely with their healthcare
team to manage their condition
effectively and prevent
complications. Early intervention and
consistent care are crucial for
promoting wound healing and
preventing further issues. Regular
monitoring and proactive measures
can help prevent complications
associated with diabetic foot.
