Most foot problems that people with diabetes face arise from two
serious complications of the disease: nerve damage and poor
circulation. The lack of feeling and poor blood flow can allow a
small blister to progress to a serious infection in a matter of
days. The consequences can range from hospitalization for
antibiotics to amputation of a toe or foot. For people with
diabetes, careful, daily inspection of the feet is essential to
overall health and the prevention of damaging foot problems. This
book is essentially for the residents and general duty medical
officers who often encounter diabetic foot ulcers in their clinical
practice and effectively manage them with bare minimum facilities.
The illustrations in this book are from the authors' exclusive and
personal collections. The cover picture signifies the importannce
of tender care and caring attitude in dealing with these
unfortunate and poor patients.In the experience of the authors
careful planning, meticulous clinical examination, proper holistic
investigations and appropriate treatment will go a long way in
bringing cheer and happiness to these unfortunate patients of this
seemingly preventable complication of diabetes.
