Purpose: This study assessed the treatment and palliative care services applied to patients with diabetic foot infection in the palliative care unit of our hospital. Patients and methods: Nine male patients diagnosed with diabetic foot infection who have been treated from the opening date in the palliative care unit of our hospital opened on June 12, 2013 (ort. Age 51.37±11 years; distribution 38-66 years) file information was reviewed back as d.nük. The average age of diabetic patients was 9.12±6.9 years. Four patients had previously suffered amputation due to diabetic foot infection. All patients were treated with intensive insulin. The average glycosized hemoglobin value in patients was 9.2±3.7, the average hunger blood sugar value was 178 mg/dL and the full blood sugar value was 262 mg/dL. The main treatments applied to patients were blood sugar regulation, palliative support, combined broad spectrum antibiotic therapy, daily wound pulse and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Also, the attention was paid to the education of diabetic patients. The treatment of diabetic foot infection requires a multidisciplinary approach. In the management of illnesses, the intrusion, ortopedian, infectious diseases clinic and wound care services play a role. We believe that awareness training on all complications of diabetes, including diabetes foot, for diabetic patients is an important part of the management of this disease.
