Diabetic infection: With diabetes, people are at risk of infections with many different types of bacteria. Initially, antibiotics are required which cover a broad spectrum of bacteria. Once cultures are taken and the specific bacteria is identified, the antibiotics can be tailored. If the infection reached the bone, you will require either long term antibiotics through an IV or a surgery to remove the infected bone.
