Success Stories by Wound Type

Diabetic Wound Care Success Stories

Real patients. Real healing. Real hope.

Maria's Journey: From Chronic Diabetic Ulcer to Full Healing

Patient: Maria C., 58   |   Condition: Stage II Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Timeline: 16 weeks to full closure   |   Location: Delray Beach
The Challenge:

Maria had struggled with a foot ulcer for over two years. Clinic visits were exhausting, her blood sugar was difficult to manage, and the wound continued to worsen. She felt hopeless—believing amputation might be inevitable.

What Happened:

Elite Home Wound Care's team performed a comprehensive assessment, identified poor blood sugar control as the primary barrier, and collaborated with her endocrinologist. Our nurses provided advanced wound dressing changes twice weekly, taught Maria and her family proper foot care, and guided her in optimizing nutrition.

“In just four months, my ulcer was completely healed. But more than that, I learned how to prevent this from happening again. The nurses treated me like family, not just a wound.” – Maria C.
Key Success Factors:
  • Multidisciplinary care (endocrinology + wound nursing)
  • Advanced dressings and offloading devices
  • Daily home blood sugar monitoring and patient education
  • Family involvement in prevention

Robert M. : Returning to Independence After Years of Suffering
