Description
According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report, 37.3 million adults are diabetic, 8.5 million are yet undiagnosed and 96 million are prediabetic. Up to 20% of these will develop a diabetic foot ulcer, 80% of which will result in amputation. It doesn’t have to be this way! This session will provide the assessment skills, common causes, complications, and treatment strategies both to prevent ulceration and achieve healing in these difficult cases.
