welcome to hcm,
short answer: reinfection of debrided wound needs special care
detailed answer:
a combination of wound dressing along with some exercises and strict control of your diabetic status is the keen in treating a wound (debrided) in your leg.
check your fasting and postprandial blood sugar status now
what are your anti diabetic medications
are you taking it regularly
i recommend giving massage either by hand or using a vibrator in the legs that will help circulation in the leg
strict diet restrictions
taking food on time and spacing between each meal
and review with your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels
