Treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Stay off your feet to prevent pain and ulcers. This is called off-loading, and it’s helpful for all forms of diabetic foot ulcers. Pressure from walking can make an infection worse and an ulcer expand.
Your doctor may recommend wearing certain items to protect your feet:
  • diabetic shoes
  • casts
  • food braces
  • compression wraps
  • shoe inserts to prevent corns and calluses
Doctors can remove diabetic foot ulcers with a debridement, the removal of dead skin, foreign objects, or infections that may have caused the ulcer.
An infection is a serious complication of a foot ulcer and requires immediate treatment. Not all infections are treated the same way.
