Diabetic Ulcer In Mount Laurel, Philadelphia, PA
If you or a family member is diabetic, it is so important that blood glucose remains well controlled. It is imperative that the Hemoglobin A1C is maintained below 7 to best prevent the complications that are common with diabetes. Unfortunately, 1 in every 6 diabetics will develop a diabetic foot ulcer in their lifetime. If you have an ulcer history, there is a significantly increased chance you will develop another ulcer. Without proper care, an ulcer may become infected and progress to devastating complications. If you have an ulcer or are at risk of developing an ulcer, it is important to see a skilled foot and ankle specialist that you can rely on to have experience with the most complex foot complications.
