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.
Hemoglobin in the RBCs becomes full of oxygen when moving through the lungs. This oxygen is released and distributed as the RBCs move through the capillaries into tissues and organs. If hemoglobin is low tissues will not receive enough oxygen causing poor healing and can create an excess workload on the heart. Red blood cells are produced by the bone marrow and have an average lifespan of 120 days. An RBC count that is too high or too low can both cause health problems.
