Posted on: 25/Jul/2013 10:04:05 AM
Diabetologists have been emphasizing the diabetic patients about Podiatric care. Now the Tamil Nadu State run hospital has also started a diabetic Foot Care Clinic, to reduce the incidence of amputations among diabetics.
Diabetics have a very high incidence of getting foot ulcers and injuries in the foot while walking. Whether or not this may grow infectious, there is a distinct possibility that they do not realize they have sustained an injury and so they do not tend to it. It may eventually lead to gangrene and in a worst case scenario, the person may lose the entire foot.
