What Could Cause Infected Right Foot?
Hello Doctor
My mother 59 yrs of age is Type 2 diabetic patient. Twenty day ago, she complained pain in her right foot and subsequently got infected. She underwent debridement of skin at Nagpur on 29-12-2011. Since then, bandage is done by a professional at our home itself. Yesterday, while dressing, we observed some green colour substances on the wound and a surgeon at Sagar (MP) saw and told that it is again some kind of infection. Kindly suggest in this regard.
The sugar level is varying from 80 to 160. As she is on insulin these days. Also, she is taking Glizid M before meals.
Warm Regards

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having diabetic foot causing this problem.
This requires high attention for its proper treatment to prevent gangrene.
Consult diabetes leg specialist and get examined.
Remain under his regular follow ups and treatment.
Ok and take care.
