First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored whether malnutrition makes it harder for foot sores to heal in people with diabetes. Researchers followed 75 patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes who had a foot sore for 1 to 24 months. They measured how many sores healed and checked for signs of malnutrition. The goal was to understand if nutrition plays a key role in recovery.
