Diabetic foot is a devastating complication of diabetes for both patients and health care providers. Gangrene and amputation is usually wrongly considered as synonym for diabetic foot, although a lot of symptoms and signs usually precede such advanced pathology by several years. Strangely enough, is that of all chronic complications of diabetes, foot problems and their risk factors are the easiest to detect and the simplest to prevent. Most of the studies suggested that simple interventions can reduce amputations by up to 50-80%.
