The Difference Between a Regular Foot Injury and a Diabetic Wound
Regular foot injuries and diabetic wounds heal very differently. Normal injuries usually heal in a week or two without special care. Diabetic wounds take much longer and need more attention because high blood sugar slows healing. Regular cuts hurt, which warns you to be careful, but diabetic nerve damage means you might not feel the injury at all. Diabetic wounds get infected more easily. That\'s why people with diabetes need special wound care products designed to fight infection and support slow healing.
