Keto and Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Prevention Through Blood Sugar Control
Medical Disclaimer: Any suspected foot ulcer requires immediate medical assessment. This article provides preventive dietary information only.
Diabetic foot complications are largely driven by chronic hyperglycaemia. By normalising blood sugar, keto directly prevents the underlying mechanism of foot ulcer development.
Three Prevention Mechanisms
Improved neuropathy (less nerve damage means injury is felt). Better microvascular health (more blood flow for healing). Normalised immune function (better infection resistance).
Wound-Healing Nutrition
Protein, zinc, vitamin C, and omega-3s are all essential for wound healing and found abundantly in our keto main dishes and keto beverages (bone broth).
