First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 100 adults with diabetes and foot ulcers to see how non-vascular factors like nerve damage, infection, and poor blood sugar control affect ulcer severity and healing. Researchers hope to find which risk factors can be changed to prevent ulcers from coming back. The goal is to improve prevention and reduce the burden of this serious complication.
