A variety of pathologic conditions may affect the feet of people with diabetes, collectively known as ‘diabetic foot’. As per IDF data, approximately 425 million people are affected by diabetes across the globe, significant part of whom are in the Asia pacific region. India is now the diabetes capital of the world with 73 million people affected.
It is estimated that diabetes would affect more than 12% of the population by 2025 (source – IDF atlas 8 edition). Foot complication is one of the most serious conditions, affecting 19% – 25% of diabetic population. It is noteworthy that one third of the expenditure on diabetic care is linked to management of foot ulcers. Diabetic foot care is in its incipient stage in India and Asia, however, foot complications due to diabetes are increasing at an alarming pace. About 100 thousand lower limb amputations are conducted among diabetic patients in India per year.
