Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are open sores or wounds that occur in people with diabetes, most commonly on the bottom of the foot. Poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy) mean many patients don't feel pain, allowing wounds to go unnoticed and worsen over time. Early recognition and proper wound care are critical — untreated DFUs are a leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations.
