About

A low-carbohydrate diet, when combined with standard wound care and diabetes management, appears to accelerate the healing of infected diabetic foot, improve blood glucose control, reduce systemic inflammation and promoting overall patient recovery. This approach could be considered a beneficial adjunct therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot infections.
