Summary
This episode explains how chronic dehydration—often overlooked in diabetic patients—slows blood flow, reduces oxygen and nutrient delivery, and stalls cellular repair, turning otherwise manageable foot ulcers into non-healing wounds.Dr. G outlines clinical signs, lab clues, and practical steps to restore hydration and improve wound healing, emphasizing that treating the whole patient — not just the wound — can produce dramatic recoveries.
