In the first project post of our Healedtoheal website, we proudly present the first ever case study of Mr Hup, a senior male suffered from diabetes developing food ulcers.

Stages of diabetes ulcers
Diabetes ulcers are usually categories into 5 progressively stages depending on their severity with stage 1 being the least affected and stage 5 (complete gangrene) that requires immediate amputation.

In Mr Hup case, his ulcer was diagnosed to be at stage 1 where there is prominent skin damage but not bone deep.
Problem statement
Due to the ulceration, Mr Hup faced difficulty whenever he moved as the ulcer will break and bleed. He paid a visit to Malaysia general hospital for his diabetes check-up, and they prescribed topical ointment for the diabetic ulcers.
However, the ulcer persists and could not healed up. Hence, this has handicapped Mr Hup as he was not able to find a proper job due to the ulcers.

How did Mr Hup came across us?
Mr Hup then came across our creator through an acquaintance and was introduce to Healedtoheal solution. As the previous topical treatment, he was prescribed did not help, he was willing to give it a go and was able to see our solution effectiveness first hand. The below photos are between a period of 3 weeks.

Results
With the results, it has shown that the toe ulcers have recovered significantly from the period of treatment. The ulceration has lessened in depth and the diameter of the wound has shrink significantly compared to what it used to be. Hence, it has contributed and speed up wound healing of Mr Hup diabetic wound.
