LEADING CAUSE OF AMPUTATION
Nerve disorder as a resulted of type-2 diabetes is the top cause of amputation of feet, toes, legs, hands amongst diabetes patients. Jointly, the disorders which cause these amputations are known as Diabetic Neuropathies. Foot issues are among the most frequent reasons for hospital stays of people with type-2 diabetes. It is unfortunate how many diabetes-linked hospitalizations and amputations could have been prevented with far better management of diabetes.
HALF OF AMPUTATIONS ARE PREVENTABLE
The sooner that action is taken to increase insulin sensitivity, the greater the chance is of avoiding the need for amputation. Regrettably, too many patients receive a late diagnosis of diabetes and need to undergo amputations. The majority of all lower limb amputations in the US occur in individuals with diabetes– 86k amputations yearly at the last count. Doctors estimate that nearly half of the amputations caused by neuropathy could have been prevented.
