Abstract

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) are significant complications of diabetes mellitus. DFU will often heal in a shorter period if factors that inhibit wound healing are identified and managed. This review was to identify determining factors that are associated with wound healing in DFU patients. Glycaemic control, adequate nutrition, presence of infection, the use of modern dressing approach, provide sufficient offloading and avoid unhealthy lifestyle like smoking are the highlighted determining factors discussed in this review and found to have an association towards a timely manner of wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers.
