Hello,
Since diabetic patients are at very high risk of developing urine tract infections and infected ulcers as well. I need to know if he already taking any soft of medicine before testing his urine or not? If yes you need to stop antibiotics if he is still running fever and retest him for urine tract infections and foot ulcer as well. You need to take him to nearest hospital for following things:
1. His sugar control
2. His BP control if any
3. Symptomatic relief
4. Specific treatment of infections
5. Rehabilitation care
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
