Here arrives a reason for the diabetics to be cheerful.
Diabetic foot amputations are largely preventable with awareness and proper care. The rate of amputations is high in India.
MV Hospital for Diabetes Research Centre in collaboration with the Harvard Medical School, Boston, US plans to develop improved footwear for the diabetic patients who are exposed to the risk for amputation.
Though a diabetes patient can manage with a simple running shoe, but well modified footwear can prove beneficial for patients who have already developed foot deformities.
With this let's hope diabetic foot amputation will be reduced.
