Patient's question:
Is amputation common in diabetic foot?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, cases of diabetic foot disease that require amputation are relatively rare. This condition often recurs in patients with poor blood sugar control. If patients can adopt standard treatment promptly in their daily lives and prevent the condition from further deteriorating, diabetic foot can be prevented from recurring. Even if it does recur, early and timely treatment can control the infection, repair the ulcers, and avoid the need for amputation.
