Peripheral arterial disease is a dramatic consequence of an uncontrolled diabetic condition causing an increase of morbidity and mortality and its treatment is currently medical or surgical, finally requiring, in the 7\u201320% of cases, major or minor amputation. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) is a laser treatment used in medicine, thanks to its ability to stimulate the wound healing, the acceleration of inflammatory process, and the modulation of pain. Recently, the self-administration of the treatment has been suggested for different purposes in medicine and dentistry with a great number of advantages and no side effects. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A 84-year-old woman affected by diabetes type 2 and positive for diabetes complications had diagnosis for an ulcerative lesion of 1\u2009cm diameter on her right leg and started a treatment of the lesion applying the B-Cure Laser Pro (Erika Carmel, Haifa, Israel) on her own with a fluence per minute of 3.2\u2009J\/cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> for 2 sessions of 15 minutes by cutaneous application. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. After a week of treatment, the ulcer dried and crusted, finally providing complete healing after 30 days of treatment. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. With this short case report, we think to add a further contribution by suggesting this kind of treatment for successful management of the leg ulcers in diabetic patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/7428472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]],"date-time":"2020-05-21T23:38:21Z","timestamp":1590104301000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Auto-Administered Photobiomodulation on Diabetic Leg Ulcers Treatment: A New Way to Manage It?"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7437-8511","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Elisabetta","family":"Merigo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, University \u201cC\u00f4te d'Azur\u201d, 5 Avenue du 22\u00e8me BCA, 06357 Nice, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lixin","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diabetes, 2nd Hospital, Gongnong Road 425, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zengyi","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diabetes, 2nd Hospital, Gongnong Road 425, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China"},{"name":"Department of Stomatology, 2nd Hospital, Gongnong Road 425, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean-Paul","family":"Rocca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, University \u201cC\u00f4te d'Azur\u201d, 5 Avenue du 22\u00e8me BCA, 06357 Nice, France"},{"name":"Department of Stomatology, 2nd Hospital, Gongnong Road 425, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7566-060X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carlo","family":"Fornaini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, University \u201cC\u00f4te d'Azur\u201d, 5 Avenue du 22\u00e8me BCA, 06357 Nice, France"},{"name":"GAEM Group of Applied Electro Magnetics, Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Parma, Viale G.
