Diabetes can significantly affect wound healing, particularly in cases of pressure ulcers, due to its impact on vascular health. The reduced blood flow caused by diabetes-related vascular complications like peripheral arterial disease and microvascular dysfunction limits oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues. This compromises tissue regeneration and increases susceptibility to injury. Proper wound care management for diabetic patients must focus on improving circulation and reducing the risk of pressure ulcers.

📌 Wound care tip: Diabetes patients need to monitor their blood sugar levels, especially in the case of diabetic foot ulcers. A high blood sugar level hinders the healing of the tissue, which leads to a disease of the small blood vessels and restricts the blood flow. Don't ignore the signs—We can help you with your healing process. 🤝 mendotahealth.com #properwoundcare #MendotaHealth #chronicwounds #healing #healthcare #InfectedWounds #SpecializedCare #DiabetesUlcerConnection #WoundCareAwareness

On World Diabetes Day, Miller Vein is highlighting a critical link: up to 70% of diabetic patients also experience chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), which triples their risk of developing leg ulcers, which are often difficult to heal due to impaired blood flow and high blood sugar. These chronic wounds require proactive care to prevent further complications and improve healing. #WorldDiabetesDay #legulcers #MillerVein #worldslargestdiabetescampaign MillerVein.com 877-432-2184
