The global prevalence of diabetes
is escalating at an alarming rate,
projected to affect 853 million
people by 2050.

Despite this grim forecast,
the primary focus in diabetes
management often remains on
blood sugar control and ocular
examinations. Critically, foot health
awareness is often overlooked,
leading to severe consequences:
diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

According to statistics
from the American
Medical Association
Journal, approximately
18.6 million
individuals suffer from
DFUs annually.

Alarmingly, up to half of
these wounds become
infected, and if not
properly managed,
can result in tissue
necrosis, ultimately
necessitating
amputation.

Our feet carry a lot in
our lives, bearing our
dreams and hopes.

Yet, diabetic foot ulcers
can cruelly strip this away.

Beyond the physical suffering,
DFU treatment often involves
multiple medical specialties,
incurring substantial costs
that place a heavy financial
burden on patients and
strains our societal and
healthcare systems.

Is it possible that
all hope is lost,
with no way to
reverse this nightmare?
