Vascular Surgeons across India spearhead the diabetic foot care programme in their foot care clinics at various hospitals. Diabetic foot complications, a serious concern for individuals with diabetes, demand specialized care to prevent severe consequences such as amputations. This is one of the most ignored diseases in Diabetic patients usually due to ignorance or lack of knowledge.
Let’s Understand the Symptoms:
The diabetic foot presents with a range of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, and pain. Skin changes, such as redness, warmth, or ulcers, are common. Left unattended, these symptoms can progress to severe infections, or gangrene posing a threat to limb integrity. So a Diabetic person must be educated about these symptoms and if they do happen, one must meet a Vascular Surgeon who specializes in treating Diabetic feet and saving the feet from conditions like amputation. In these cases, early detection and early treatment are the keys to preventing amputation and the members of the Vascular Society of India have pledged to make India amputation-free by spreading awareness about Diabetic Foot.
Causes:
It is imperative to emphasize the multifactorial nature of diabetic foot complications. Poorly controlled blood sugar levels, neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and impaired immune response contribute to the heightened risk. Foot injuries, often unnoticed due to reduced sensation, can escalate into serious infections without prompt intervention. So a diabetic person must know the causes and exercise prevention to avoid such complications.
Treatment:
VSI advocates for a proactive and collaborative approach to diabetic foot management. Regular foot examinations, meticulous wound care, and optimal glycaemic control form the cornerstone of preventative measures. For complex cases, advanced interventions such as revascularization and wound debridement are expertly performed by your nearest vascular surgeon, ensuring a holistic approach to treatment.
The management of diabetic foot under any vascular specialist’s guidance extends beyond medical expertise, incorporating patient education to empower individuals in self-care. Through their unwavering commitment, all vascular surgeons strive to enhance the quality of life for those grappling with diabetic foot complications, advocating for a future where amputations are minimized through vigilant care and timely interventions.
