Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are open wounds that typically develop on the feet due to poorly controlled diabetes. They result from a combination of peripheral neuropathy, poor circulation (peripheral vascular disease), and foot trauma or pressure—often caused by ill-fitting shoes.
According to the National Institutes of Health, 15–25% of people with diabetes will experience at least one foot ulcer in their lifetime. Diabetic foot ulcers are a leading cause of non-traumatic amputations in the United States.
