The purpose of the study was to assess the health-related quality of life and treatment satisfaction of diabetes patients (n = 36) with foot ulcers undergoing insulin and ayurvedic adjunct therapy. Retrospective hospital based cross-sectional design considered patients with diabetes foot ulcers undergoing 4-week treatment with insulin and ayurvedic combinatorial therapy. The Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life Questionnaire and Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire were completed for the assessment. The mean duration of diabetes among participants was 9.32 ± 5.3 years. Assessment of Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (total treatment satisfaction) score was found to be 26.0139 ± 5.20369, and Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life Questionnaire (average weighted impact) score was -3.0819 ± 1.83003. Relationship with diabetes complications showed that Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life Questionnaire score (P = .383) had no relationship, but Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire score (P = .039) showed significance. Integrated approaches for diabetes foot ulcer management with insulin and ayurvedic management have a favorable impact on patient-perceived quality of life.

AYURVEDIC APPROACH OF DIABETIC FOOT ULCER
Bhawana Sharma
IJRAPS | July 2018 | Vol 2 | Issue 7

Diabetes Mellitus is disease known from the dawn of civilization. Sedentary life
style, lack of exercise, faulty dietary habits, improper medication and
urbanization precipitate the disease. It is estimated that the total number of
people with diabetes will rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030.
Diabetic foot is one of the common complications of diabetes. Approximately 5-
10% of all diabetics develop foot ulcer at least once in their time and more than
50% of non-traumatic amputations of lower limbs are foot complications in
diabetic patients. Amputation of a part of lower limb is 15 times more common in
diabetics as compares to general populations. In Ayurvedic text it is widely
described by Acharya charak and Sushrut under Prameh pidika with its
complication and treatment.
