How to recognize a diabetic foot – prompt treatment is important. Diabetic foot affects up to 30 percent of all diabetics.
Wounds that can occur on the foot due to diabetes should be treated as quickly as possible to avoid serious consequences such as amputation. The Frankfurt Clinic, for example, was awarded the quality certificate for foot treatment for diabetes by the German Diabetes Society (DDG) “It is important that even the smallest wounds are noticed quickly. Only then can aggravations be avoided, optimally treated and the foot preserved,” explains Dr. med. Henning Samwer.
