Treating Diabetic Ulcer Patients

According to recent data from the CDC, diabetes affects over 25.8 million people in the US (roughly 8% of the population). Coupled with data that shows another 79 million persons in the US have pre-diabetes (A1C levels above normal) or 35% of the population. Obviously, it’s a serious problem. Diabetes is a major contributor to stroke, heart disease and peripheral vascular disease (PAD). Roughly 1:6 diabetics will develop a diabetic ulcer on their foot or lower extremity and many of them will ultimately require amputation of part of the foot or leg. After amputation for an ulcer, studies have shown diabetics’ 5 year mortality rates rise significantly — to as high as 45-60%. It is critical that these patients receive rapid, aggressive care from a spectrum of specialists who must each address the various factors contributing to the ulcer.

Our guests this week include three such specialists who treat diabetic ulcer patients in their practice every day. They will give insight about the role they play in saving the diabetic ulcer patient’s limb (and possibly their life).
