Diabetes is a disease related to disorders of sugar metabolism in the body. The disease first presents with the symptoms of “Polydipsia” and “Polyuria” and also in blood tests, blood sugar is found above normal. Subsequently, sugar also appears in the urine sample, which can be a sign of the progression of diabetes. Sugar needs "insulin" to enter the cells, which in a normal (healthy) person in the presence of the right amount of insulin in the blood when sugar enters the cells, the energy required by the cells will supplied and the blood sugar level remains within the normal range.

Cells (tissues of the body) need this energy (sugar) to regenerate, growth, and function normally. On the other hand, if this intracellular energy is not provided, the cells become weak and prone to destruction (wounding), which in the event of a wound will have less healing power. Also, with high blood sugar, vascular destruction begins and over time, there are signs of decreased blood supply to the end body tissues (the usual site of ulcers). Impaired blood flow to the end body tissues leads to delays in the healing of wounds such as "diabetic wounds", including surgical incisions. Therefore, more attention is required in performing surgeries on these patients. Delays in the healing of diabetic wounds are clearly visible, and if such wounds do not heal after "two weeks" of routine care, they are called "Problem Wounds" that require special care. The main problem with these wounds, which are different from other wounds and seem incurable, is circulatory disorders, which even interfere with the delivery of systemic antibiotics to the wound site. Improved blood flow is made possible by the creation of peripheral capillaries by the "Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy" to facilitate other routine wound support care.
