Diabetic foot ulcers are a condition that is often experienced by diabetics. This condition is characterized by the appearance of sores accompanied by an unpleasant-smelling discharge from the feet. Diabetic foot wounds, commonly called diabetic ulcers, occur due to damage to nerves and blood vessels due to uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
