[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 422948, member: 6467"] Please note that we are not doctors, just people with diabetes. Wounds - as far as I am aware - are treated exactly the same if you are diabetic or non-diabetic. Reduced ability to heal can be a side effect of poor blood glucose control which impairs the immune system. So the best approach for a diabetic - especially with problems such as ulcers to the feet and legs - is to improve blood glucose control. This may include eating less carbohydrates and eating less food generally if the diabetic is over weight. This is a UK group, so we cannot really give any advice about drugs available in another country. We certainly can't give advice about treating wounds - this should be for your local doctor or nurse. Sorry I cannot be more help. LGC [/QUOTE]
