ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common complication of diabetes and can be challenging to manage. A combined approach can lead to faster healing and better outcomes for individuals with DFUs. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a 70-year-old man with a 15-year history of diabetes who developed a diabetic foot ulcer. The patient was undergoing treatment with routine therapy. Despite the severity of the ulcer, a combination therapy approach, including larva therapy, Medi honey ointment, and silver alginate dressings, was implemented, leading to successful healing. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: By combining these three treatment modalities, we may be able to achieve a synergistic effect and maximize wound healing and infection control benefits. CONCLUSION: The combined use a honey-based Media Honey ointment and silver alginate larva therapy can be an effective treatment option for diabetic foot ulcers.
