Preventive foot care in people with diabetes

J A Mayfield et al. Diabetes Care. 1998 Dec.

Abstract

A number of effective, low-cost strategies are available to identify and treat the person at risk for diabetic foot ulcers and lower-extremity amputation. These strategies must be more widely adopted by all diabetic care providers to maintain the integrity and function of the lower limb, and thus improve the quality of life for people with diabetes.
