What are some of the main medical treatments for diabetic foot ulcers?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    The main treatments include wound debridement (removing dead skin and tissue), moist wound dressings, reducing weight on the ulcer (via orthotics or shoe changes), antibiotics to combat infections, and controlling blood sugar levels (poorly controlled blood sugar can impair wound healing).[1]
