Brief Summary
Diabetes mellitus consists of a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that have hyperglycemia in common, resulting from defects in insulin action, insulin secretion, or both. Diabetes mellitus has gained increasing importance and is considered one of the main themes of global health problems due to the damage caused to quality of life, public health and the epidemiological picture presented. Among the complications are diabetic foot ulcers, with higher prevalence in the lower limbs, they are classified as loss of skin continuity, which can reach from the epidermis to deep structures such as muscles, bones and tendons.
