Improper management leads to complications in the form of Prameha Pidaka, which may further develop into Madhumehajanya Dusta Vrana, characterized by delayed healing and foul-smelling wounds. Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and carries a poor prognosis due to microvascular and macrovascular changes resulting from uncontrolled blood glucose levels.
