Treatment of Diabetic Foot Lesions with Restructuring Cream: Case Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diabetic polyneuropathy is a complication that affects about 50% of diabetic patients and is the main cause of foot ulcers, preceding 85% of amputations. Treatment is usually long and tissue repair is a challenge for health professionals. This work aims to evaluate the treatment with restructuring cream, based on bioactives and with glycolic extracts of plants. The methodology used was a case study, in 3 diabetic patients, with polyneuropathy and previous chronic non-communicable diseases, whose treatment was performed with restructuring cream. It was possible to conclude that the proposed treatment facilitates self-care, reduces treatment time and consequently health costs.
