People who have diabetes heal slower and have to take seriously any wound they have. They are more subseptible to infection and to gangren.

I am a type 1 diabetic I have too feel and "look" (I am also blind) at my feet and toes every day. Last week I found a weeping sore on the side of my foot, I know it was from a stick scratching me when I was in the garden, but now I have to clean it two times aday, and dress it. I worry continuely about losing a toe or foot from just a scratch!
Diabetic do not heal like a normal body does. We take much longer and have to care for the wound much more agreassively to prevent lost of limb. And if we do have a wound we have to check our BS more offen because the sore alone or the infection from the sore will raise or lower our blood sugars too. And if the BS goes higher, then the sore will not heal at all. causing possible lost of limb.
Good Luck with your report.

The level of glucose when elevated actually thickens the blood making it more difficult for the blood to supply Oxygen and white blood cells to reach the wound. As an example you could thicken water with sugar and watch how slow it moves in a tube or bottle after it is about 1/4 sugar to water, so the more sugar the thicker it becomes. This will also server as a demonstration tool if it is wanted.You might use food coloring dye to know what ratio of water to sugar you have in each.

People who have diabetes usually have poor circulation called peripheral vascular disease. For wounds to heal properly, they must have a good blood supply. Another reason is a high glucose blood level is very conducive to the growing of bacteria. Infection very definitely inhibits the healing process. I hope this helps you get an A+.

The best answer I have is that if you are not taking your medication right rather it be insulin or glucophage your immune system becomes weak and therefore your body can not fight off infections, wounds and such as easily. Diabetics who are not properly medicated end up with all kinds of problems. I don't know if that is the right answer but this is my theory based on diabetics I know.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

diabetes causes poor circulation....(slower blood flow which slows down healing)
HERE I JUST FOUND SOMETHING TO HELP BACK UP WHAT I SAID
People with diabetes are prone to foot problems because of the likelihood of damage to blood vessels and nerves and a decreased ability to fight infection. Problems with blood flow and damage to nerves may cause an injury to the foot to go unnoticed until infection develops. Death of skin and other tissue can occur.
If left untreated, the affected foot may need to be amputated. Diabetes is the most common condition leading to amputations.
To prevent injury to the feet, people with diabetes should adopt a daily routine of checking and caring for the feet as follows:
Check your feet every day, and report sores or changes and signs of infection.
Wash your feet every day with lukewarm water and mild soap, and dry them thoroughly.
Soften dry skin with lotion or petroleum jelly.
Protect feet with comfortable, well-fitting shoes.
Exercise daily to promote good circulation.
See a podiatrist for foot problems or to have corns or calluses removed.
Remove shoes and socks during a visit to your health care provider and remind him or her to examine your feet.
Stop smoking, which hinders blood flow to the feet.
