Abstract:
A method for treating diabetic wounds uses a topical preparation containing insulin in combination with glucose. The exact proportions are not critical, as the presence of even a trace amount of either component in combination with the other is effective. In one embodiment, the composition contains from about 0.1% to about 5.0% weight percent insulin in a 50 weight percent solution of glucose. In another embodiment, the topical preparation includes up to 1.0 weight percent silver sulfadiazine. In another embodiment, the topical preparation includes up to 100 parts per million by weight colloidal silver or ionic silver.
