It is common in diabetic patients that foot injuries do not cause pain, which means that the injury is often aggravated before the patient requests specialised help.
Of all lower extremity amputations, between 40% and 70% are due to diabetes-related causes and 85% of lower extremity amputations are due to infections and preceded by a foot ulcer.
The number of amputations as a consequence of diabetes is too high. For this reason, the International Diabetes Federation, the World Health Organization and the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot promote the message that amputations related to diabetes can be prevented in most cases through good healthcare and self-care based on good information and hygiene.
