A diabetic foot is an injury sustained to the foot. Normally this is not a cause for concern as non-fatal injuries can heal on their own, with time. But if you are suffering from Diabetes mellitus then there is a high possibility that the injury will not heal on its own. This is because the enzymes produced in your body affect the immune system and make it less effective. A compromised immune system should not be taken lightly. Though diabetes is not a fatal disease it can cause many problems. This is why patients suffering from Diabetes are advised to wear socks and take special care to keep their limbs safe. An injury sustained to a diabetic patient is 50% more likely to get infected and cause additional medical issues.
The Diabetic Foot Care clinic at Sanjeevani Multispeciality Hospital is the result of our founders realizing, that many patients have come forward with the same problem- injury to their hands or legs that are not healing properly because of their pre-existing diabetes.
