Diabetic ulcers are one of the chronic wounds resulting from the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Patients with diabetes mellitus are at risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers due to their vulnerability to nerve damage (neuropathy) and peripheral vascular disease in the lower limbs. In this case, a 68-year-old male presented with a non-healing ulcer on his right foot that has been progressively enlarging for the past month. The patient reported that the ulcer is currently pus-filled and wet. Previously, he often experienced numbness and tingling. The patient has been irregular in taking his diabetes medication. The wound has continued to enlarge, severely affecting the patient's foot. Prior to his departure to Madinah, he was hospitalized in Indonesia and underwent debridement for the ulcer. Non-adherence to diabetes treatment is a major cause of complications such as diabetic foot ulcers. Maintaining blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible is crucial for improving various hyperglycemia-related factors that can impede wound healing. In addition to providing pharmacotherapy and non-pharmacotherapy, doctors play a vital role in educating patients and their families about the disease. Doctors emphasize the importance of adhering to prescribed treatments, regularly monitoring blood glucose levels to keep them under control, and providing guidance on proper wound care.
