- This is a French translation of the English pamphlet 1904, “Diabetic Foot Ulcer”. The term 'foot ulcer' is used to describe an open sore that happens below the ankle and may be on any part of the foot. Some people with diabetes may develop a foot ulcer. These ulcers are often slow to heal and may get infected. This pamphlet explains who is at risk for a foot ulcer, how to know if you have nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), and symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. It also describes how to know if you have a foot ulcer, treatment, prevention, and tips for foot orthotics and shoes.
