Diabetic Education: Know the Signs of Slow Healing Wounds

People with diabetes often experience poor circulation, putting them at increased risk for developing slow healing wounds. Our team of wound care experts can help you stay a step ahead and understand the risk factors for slow healing wounds so they don’t get worse.

In addition to poor circulation, other risk factors for developing wounds include high blood sugar levels, varicose veins, and high cholesterol. Knowing these risk factors and taking steps to detect slow healing wounds can prevent them from becoming serious health issues.

Steps include:

  • Regular cholesterol checks with a physician

  • Checking your feet routinely (especially if you have limited sensation in your feet)

  • Maintaining a healthy diet and blood sugar levels

Early intervention is key to preventing acute or chronic wounds from developing and our medical team is committed to providing you with the information you need to prevent and recognize slow healing wounds. If you notice a slow healing wound or a wound that has shown no improvement, our wound care specialists are equipped to deliver treatment right here in Hereford.
