Is Slow Healing Of Wounds Normal In A Diabetic Patient?
I have wounds on both of the backs of my legs. Both of my feet are swollen and I can t wear my regular shoes. Is this common for women with diabetes? These wounds are not healing, I had one leg wound since the Dec 2017. The wounds are gooey and white. Is this normal?

Hello,
Yes, strict sugar control and blood thinner like oral aspirin may help in healing wounds faster. Daily dressing to avoid super-added infection is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
