Condition
Diabetic Foot Ulcer
A one-page care plan for patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know numbness can hide an injury, while poor blood flow and high blood sugar can slow healing.
- I understand that a small sore can become a deep infection, even when it does not hurt.
- I use my prescribed pressure-relief device for every step, including short trips indoors.
- follow my standing and walking limits; I do not test healing by walking without protection.
