Diabetic Foot Disease Comprehensive Management for Primary Care

Globally, Diabetes foot affects nearly 6% of diabetes patients due to ulceration, infection, and tissue destruction [1], and 0.03% to 1.5% of them require amputation [2]; screening for the diabetic foot to assess the risk for complications. Diabetic foot complication includes infection, ulceration, or demolition of foot tissues. It may harm patients’ value of life and affect social sharing and maintenance. Around 2-3% of patients with diabetic foot may need an amputation, but Most ulcers can be prevented with good foot care and screening for risk factors for a foot at risk of complications. We here summarise and provide an update on the prevention and management of diabetic foot in the primary care setup. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common among persons with diabetes, and prevalence range from 10% to 20%. Most often is asymptomatic. Persons with diabetes are at accelerated threat for PAD and frequently have more significant distal vascular disorders than humans without diabetes. PAD is related to immense morbidity, which includes aches and purposeful impairment, amputation, and the hazard of death. Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) generally happens in humans with diabetes, with a lifetime risk between 12% and 25%. Healing of DFU might also take months to years, and those lesions frequently result in increased lower extremity amputation (LEA).
