Diabetic boils may be caused by poor blood sugar control, and should be treated with general therapy and physiotherapy or topical ointment on the basis of active blood sugar control. 1. Glucose control: Patients with diabetic boils should monitor their blood glucose level and control their blood glucose within the normal range by taking glucose-lowering drugs such as metformin, glibenclamide or insulin. 2. General treatment: diabetic patients should strictly control the diet during treatment to avoid total calorie overload, and exercise appropriately to increase the resistance of the body. 3. Physiotherapy or topical ointment: boils in the red and swollen stage can be treated with hot compresses, ultra-short wave, infrared and other physiotherapies, and traditional Chinese medicines such as Jinhuangxuan, Yuluxuan, or ichthyolite ointment can also be applied. Diabetic boils should go to the hospital in time and under the guidance of the doctor for regular treatment.
