Abstract

One of the serious long-tenn complications of diabetes mellitus is the diabetic foot lesion. Diabetic foot lesions are a major cause of morbidity, mortality, disability in patients with diabetes and frequent cause of lower-extremity amputations. The treatment of diabetic foot lesions is based on the strict control of diabetes mellitus. A patient with diabetic foot lesions was treated with Cheunhwasangamibang and improvement was seen. Results in this case support a role for Cheunhwasangamibang in controlling diabetes mellitus, and are here reported to encourage further study.
