Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and infections are common complications that frequently result in reduced quality of life and even morbidity for patients with diabetes. This paper highlights significant findings in DFU treatments and emerging advanced technologies for monitoring ulceration in patients with diabetes. The management of DFUs requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves patient education. It is well-established that poor glycemic control significantly contributes to diabetic foot ulcer complications, presenting global challenges in quality of life, economics, and resource allocation, affecting approximately half a billion people and potentially leading to lower limb amputation or mortality. Therefore, effective DFU management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that includes patient education. However, current clinical guidelines for DFU treatment are not performing effectively, resulting in unnecessary increases in financial and emotional burden on patients. Researchers have experimented with advanced technologies and methods, including traditional approaches, to address complications related to DFU healing. This paper also presents the evolution of patents in the field of DFU medication and advanced diagnostic methods, showcasing relevant innovations that may benefit a wide range of researchers.
糖尿病足溃疡（DFUs）和感染是常见的并发症，常常导致糖尿病患者生活质量下降，甚至发病。本文重点介绍了DFU治疗的重要发现以及用于监测糖尿病患者溃疡情况的新兴先进技术。DFU的管理需要采取包括患者教育在内的多学科方法。众所周知，血糖控制不佳会显著导致糖尿病足溃疡并发症，在生活质量、经济和资源分配方面带来全球性挑战，影响约5亿人，并可能导致下肢截肢或死亡。因此，有效的DFU管理需要采取包括患者教育在内的多学科方法。然而，目前DFU治疗的临床指南并未有效发挥作用，导致患者的经济和情感负担不必要地增加。研究人员已经尝试了先进技术和方法，包括传统方法，以解决与DFU愈合相关的并发症。本文还介绍了DFU药物治疗和先进诊断方法领域专利的发展历程，展示了可能使广大研究人员受益的相关创新成果。
