Gangrene of diabetic foot can be reasonably treated by general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment.
1. General treatment: when the phenomenon of diabetic foot gangrene occurs, first of all, we should pay attention to actively controlling blood sugar and controlling the intake of total calories; secondly, we should pay attention to balanced diet and focus on diversified and nutritionally reasonable food. Only when blood sugar is effectively controlled can the symptoms of gangrenous feet be reduced.
2. Pharmacological treatment: poor blood glucose control requires insulin glucose-lowering treatment when necessary, such as insulin Mentholatum, etc. α-lipoic acid can improve the phenomenon of abnormal nerve sensation and nerve conduction, thus improving the symptoms of rotting feet; prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogs, such as common fat microspheres prostaglandin E1, etc., which can improve nerve conduction speed, improve the feeling of numbness and pain.
3.Surgical treatment
Lower limb arterial endoluminal intervention: it is one of the minimally invasive surgeries, which is suitable for patients who are old and weak or have other diseases that cannot tolerate open surgery. Surgical methods include percutaneous transluminal endarterioplasty.
Amputation: it is suitable for patients with severe gangrene and severe deformity of the limb, through which the infection is controlled and the survival rate is improved.
Specific treatments should be carried out according to the severity of the patient’s condition and under the guidance of the doctor. In case of diabetic foot gangrene, please go to the hospital immediately.
