Patients in the experimental group will receive treatment with LLLT. The ulcer bed will be irradiated locally with red light (660 nm). The ulcer size and its depth will be used as the basis to calculate the duration of exposure needed to deliver 3-10 J/cm² for 15 to 20 minutes. The application will take place in 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. Each patient will be asked to lie in a supine position with the ulcer easily exposed to the laser beam, and they will be instructed to wear laser glasses and avoid looking directly at the beam until the end of the session.

All patients in both the groups will receive the required, conventional treatments of diabetic wound care, including dressing, antibiotics, controlling diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure along with aggressive drug treatment and wound debridement when needed.
