Diabetic foot is one of the more serious complications of Diabetes, more so because foot care is often overlooked by patients and their caretakers. At its worst, unchecked infection of the foot can lead to gangrene and the need for amputation. Dr Driver emphasized the need for a holistic and team approach in Diabetes care so that such extreme measures can be avoided, and patients do not have to lose their mobility and the ability to work.
