Diabetic ulcerations

Just thinking about all those diabetics who have a sore on their foot that they have ignored. It seems that these are usually the folks who go on to the worst complication AMPUTATION!!! Lack of attention to a sore can lead to loss of your leg. I have a patient right now who has let something go and now faces loss of limb and possible death which occurs frequently once a leg gets removed!!! Go see your foot doctor when you get a sore! Do not wait it could cost you your life.
