Diabetic foot etiology

Patient's question:

It's truly a double misfortune. I already had diabetes, and now my foot has been injured and infected. I didn't take it seriously, but it started to pus. Out of necessity, I had to go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it's diabetic foot. I'd like to ask, what are the causes of diabetic foot?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is recommended to take Metformin and Glyburide orally for treatment. It is essential to control your diet. Suggestions: Avoid high-glycemic index foods in your diet. There is no need to avoid other foods, but it is important to eat small meals frequently, eat at regular times, and choose coarse processed foods. Eating whole grains is better. Providing high protein is very important. Doctor's inquiry:
