Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to multiple ulcers formation which do not subside until blood sugars are controlled. So his diabetic medications need to be reviewed if his compliance to treatment is good. Diabetic ulcers can be of different stages so you must take him to diabetic foot clinic for management. But his sores won't heal, unless sugars are controlled.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
