Abstract:
Diabetic foot complications remain one of the leading causes of hospitalization, amputation and even death among people living with diabetes. Though diabetic foot care has seen significant advancements globally, the burden of diabetic foot ulcers remains high worldwide, especially in the South East Asian (SEA) region. This review summarizes the current state of diabetic foot care in India and its neighbouring countries in the SEA region. There is an urgent need to increase awareness among people with diabetes and health care professionals, develop specialized foot clinics, provide improvised access to wound care and offloading devices at affordable costs and enhance the regional collaboration to prevent and effectively treat diabetic foot ulcers. This review highlights the recent advances, challenges, and future directions to manage diabetes and diabetic foot complications.
