Diabetes with Amputation at Southeastern PA Grand View
Because of the nerve damage and low blood flow to the lower extremities, the most frequent cause for amputations is diabetes. Many amputations of people with diabetes occur because of serious foot ulcers which can become infected and unable to heal. Many of these could be prevented with proper foot care. If you have diabetes, it is important to check your feet for sores and small cuts daily, stay physically active, keep your blood sugars in check, and see your doctor regularly. An estimated 5% of adults with diabetes eventually have at least one toe amputated.
