Wound healing affected by diabetes?

I had experience with this when I had a scheduled surgery to remove a small cyst. The wound was slow to heal, but my sugars were a little out of wack than normal because the time of the surgery, I was going through a lot emotionally so I did let things get a little out of control, but nothing in the dangerous ranges. Once I got the BG under control, however, the wound seem to heal up within a week or two without any more draining after a few days.

I would say yes, but.....  Several years ago, I had major surgery which left me with a large scar down the center of my abdomen.  It healed well, but scar tissue being a little more sensitive and being in a spot that received constant friction from the waistband of my clothes, eventually opened a small wound.  I tried everything I could on my own and finally gave in and went to wound care.  I am sensitive to the adhesive used on otc bandages so that added to the problem.  Wound care was great, but the location of the opening was just not conducive to healing.  The problem was finally fixed after surgery for a hernia repair; they just cut that part out (very small wound) and everything healed fine.  I think the real problem was just the constant friction.

Hellomy name is jim I'm  gonna show you 2 pictures taken 3 weeks apart, I had been fighting ulcers for 6 months doctors appt every 10 days, my wife was really getting worked I  was going to have more surgery, I already had half my left foot cut off. So we stopped all antibiotics and this is not a lie, went to a strictly HONEY therapy......it's simple, take a bowl of warm water mix 1 teaspoon OF PURE RAW HONEY UNTIL dissolved, wipe down entire area several times,let dry, apply a liberal  amount of pure raw honey, apply gauze pad and wrap area with stretch roll gauze, every 24 hours repeat process, you should research honey,no bacteria can survive in honet, it produces it's own antibiotic, relevessel pain and inflamation

Hi @Yorkylover1‍, thank you for sharing your experience. That's fantastic that you've seen such great improvement using honey! 

Has anyone else been through slow wound healing because of diabetes-related ulcers and sores? What to you do to help with it? Have you tried pure honey like Yorkylover1?
