A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most serious and common complications of long-standing diabetes mellitus. These open wounds, usually located on the sole of the foot or toes, occur due to a combination of nerve damage, poor circulation, and impaired wound healing.

Understanding early symptoms, appropriate treatment, and long-term management is essential for improving outcomes and quality of life in people with diabetes.
