Did you know that Ireland is currently one of the top spenders in the world on complications related to diabetes? It is estimated that between eight and 10 per cent of our overall healthcare expenditure is spent on diabetic complications such as hospitalisation, surgical interventions and long-term wound dressings, etc. Even more concerning is that while other EU countries are successfully reducing the number of diabetes-related amputations by introducing hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT ), Ireland isn't keeping pace.
One of the biggest challenges for people with diabetes is dealing with non-healing wounds, especially foot ulcers. HBOT can significantly speed up healing by boosting oxygen supply to the affected area. In fact, European studies show that HBOT can improve the healing of diabetic foot ulcers by up to 75 per cent in some cases. The combined antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits following sessions of HBOT create an optimal healing environment.
If you’re struggling with a non-healing wound or diabetic ulcers, there’s some positive news. Irish Life Health offers full coverage for HBOT sessions at OxyGeneration, so you can access this potentially life-changing treatment without financial stress.
