Abstract:
Diabetic foot syndrome is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, with a 5-year mortality of around 50 %. This essential public health problem has a mortality rate higher than the average range of cancer (31 % at 5 years). The development of multidisciplinary teams plays a central role in reducing the number of major amputations and controlling treatment costs. The new recommendations make it possible to structure the management of ulcers by primary care providers (nurses, podiatrists, pharmacists, general practitioners, etc.) and they offer clear investigation and treatment plans for an increase of the healing rate and a reduction of the length of stay in hospital.
