    In the treatment of diabetic ulcers is a new drug, or any therapy involved in directly healing a diabetic ulcer really as important as the overall health status of the patient, or the overall condition of the affected limb?
    Is it even as important as good load reduction?

    I'll watch this one with interest:cool:.

    I will be pleasantly surprised if plasminogen will help wounds heal. Most wounds do not heal because there is not enough nutrients, including oxygen to allow cells to grow. If circulation isn't increased how will the plasminogen help in those patients who have poor circulation?
