Diabetes Research: Effects of diabetes on the health and treatment

This research paper examines the effects of diabetes on health and treatment, specifically focusing on the diabetic ulcer. The study explores the impact of diabetes on wound healing, the role of compression therapy, and the complications associated with the disease. It highlights the challenges faced by patients with diabetes, including the slowing of the healing process, and the potential risks associated with treatments. The paper also reviews the importance of managing blood sugar levels and the need for a comprehensive approach to managing diabetic ulcers. The paper also includes a discussion on the importance of managing blood sugar levels and the potential risks associated with treatments.

1RESEARCH ON DIABETIC ULCER
The patient is suffering from venous ulcer and is diabetic and our point of research is
to understand the consequences of compression therapy that the person is undergoing.
Compression therapy is known to show healing property by accelerating capillary flow
(Amin, 2016) . The person is still not being fully cured because of diabetes as they affect
nerves and slow down the healing property.
Compression therapy works by decreasing the inflammatory cytokines and increase in
capillary flow. Hence, the patients leg swelling decreased. Diabetes makes wound dry slower
and affects the blood circulation. In diabetic patients tract under the skin harbours an abscess
thus slowing the ulcer and pus drying. The risk factors in old age increases and the only way
to heal is to lower the glucose levels otherwise may lead to severe complications. Though the
swelling is removed, there are some contraindications related to compression therapy like
septic phlebitis or even heart failure. High blood sugar increases inflammation in the cells of
body and slows down the machinery of immune system (Andriessen et al ., 2017). These are
the reasons that slows down the healing of venous ulcer. The fighter cells are unable to fight
against infections and thus may impose several other complications like leg amputation.
Therefore we may conclude that diabetes stops the healing of wounds and the ulcer in the
patient.
