Diabetes: Reflection after a below knee amputation
Poor control of diabetes can lead to serious lower limb complications, such as nerve damage and poor circulation. Poor nerve function can result in reduced ability to feel pain. This could lead to undetected injury or infection, resulting in delayed treatment.
Diabetic patients should stay vigilant and check your feet daily. Good diabetes control and early treatment matters.
