Diabetes and Poor Wound Healing. Wound healing can be slowed drastically in patients with diabetes. Poor wound healing is one of the leading causes of amputation in diabetics. High blood glucose levels, poor circulation and neuropathy are of some of the reason why diabetics heal poorly. Research from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts reveals another possible reason for slow and poor would healing. The molecule, PGC-1 alpha, may be the culprit.
Poor blood flow to the wound can also prevent sores from healing quickly and could be a signal of diabetes or another chronic disease. If a patient is a smoker this also slows down the healing process, since smoking keeps damaged cells in an inflammatory state, while being deprived of much needed oxygen. Steps of the healing process. Natural wound healing involves several steps. Right after an injury, the body increases blood flow to the trauma area. This is when a wound becomes red and warm, while allowing white blood cells and platelets to get to the spot.
