Diabetic foot ulceration is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus resulting from the interaction of peripheral neuropathy, vascular impairment, mechanical stress, impaired tissue repair and infection. Severe ulcers require systematic assessment and multidisciplinary management because progression to deep infection, osteomyelitis and amputation may occur. This simulated case describes the clinical course of a severe diabetic foot ulcer managed with individualized homoeopathic treatment alongside appropriate standard wound care.
Case Presentation
A 54-year-old male with a 12-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with a non-healing ulceration over the plantar aspect of the both legs for approximately 7 weeks. The lesion had progressively increased in size and was associated with purulent discharge, malodour, local pain, swelling and difficulty walking. At presentation, the ulcer measured 6.2 × 4.8 × 0.8 cm, with approximately 60% slough and 40% granulation tissue. Peripheral neuropathy was demonstrated by reduced monofilament sensation. Glycaemic control was suboptimal, with HbA1c of 9.4%. Investigations did not demonstrate radiological evidence of osteomyelitis. 
The patient received individualized homoeopathic treatment selected according to the documented symptom totality, while continuing wound cleansing, dressings, off-loading, glycaemic management and other clinically indicated standard measures. 
Serial assessment demonstrated progressive reduction in wound dimensions, discharge and slough, followed by granulation and epithelialization over the observation period.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates a structured approach to documenting a severe diabetic foot ulcer in the context of individualized homoeopathic treatment alongside standard care. Objective wound measurements and transparent documentation of concomitant treatment are essential for scientifically interpretable case reporting.},
