چکیده
Some diabetic patients develop a diabetic peripheral neuropathy characterised by loss of sensation in the feet. Such patients have a high risk of injuries which often go unnoticed. Diabetic patients particularly those with neuropathy have abnormal pressure points under the feet. In these area, the skin gets thickened (called callus) which then becomes an ulcer. Chronic infection in the ulcer ultimately leads to amputation of a toe or the whole foot.
