Diabetic Foot Complications in Saudi Arabia: A Retrospective Study
Conclusion: Diabetes foot is common among older males with poorly controlled T2DM. The most common foot complications were amputations, gangrene, foot ulcers, bone deformities, ingrown toenails, Charcot's foot, and calluses. Most DMF patients were anemic and hypertensive. Diabetes-related microvascular complications, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, as well as macrovascular complications, such as coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease, were associated with DMF.PMID:38445149 | PMC:PMC10912821 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.53531
