The purpose of this study is to determine if AutoloGel platelet rich plasma used on non healing diabetic foot ulcers Wagner gd. 1 and 2 is more effective then the usual and customary care
Autologel is a platelet-rich plasma gel used in the treatment of no-healing chronic wounds. Prospective observational studies of the effectiveness of Autologel have demonstrated promising results in regard to the healing of diabetic foot ulcers including severe Wagner grade 3 and 4 ulcers. The aim of the current trial is to compare the efficacy, measured as wound healing in a single-blind (assessor) randomized controlled trial, of usual and customary care with and without Autologel in treating Wagner 1 and 2 diabetic foot ulcers.

Compare time to heal in Wagner 1 and 2 diabetic foot ulcers at 12 weeks treated with AutoloGel versus usual and customary care
Complete wound closure is defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at consecutive study visits 2 weeks apart. Initial diagnosis of healing by unblinding Principal Investigator will be confirmed by an independent blinded observer using digital photography, planimetry data and wound measurements
Time frame: 12 weeks
Assess wound healing trajectory and change in Chronic Wound quality of Life W-QOL scores: and to assess the comparative safety of AutoloGel and usual and customary care
QOL tool administered prior to and at the end of treatment to document the impact of the wound on the subject's life and whether treatment interventions helped a return to improved functioning.
Time frame: 13 weeks
Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of tolerability
Frequency and severity of adverse events
Time frame: 12 weeks
