The patient, 78-year-old female with NIDDM, is seen in the physician’s office today for evaluation of a left heel wound. After evaluation, the physician diagnosed the patient with diabetic foot ulcer due to peripheral vascular disease. The physician performed a non-excisional debridement of the wound and referred the patient to a specialist for further monitoring.
