Dear sir
To treat diabetic wound, here are the following principles that needs to be followed.
1. Proper wound care
2. Selection of appropriate antibiotics
3. Mechanical offloading using foot wear
4. Changing to insulin rather than oral drugs
The important thing is to get the sugar levels under control, that can be done by using human insulins rather than oral medications.
Thanks
