Research Notes on Diabetes and Gangrene
Diabetics are more likely to have gangrene than nondiabetics. Risk factors such as infections, skin ulcers, and diabetic neuropathy are some of the conditions that raise your risk for developing gangrene.1 Diabetics can prevent gangrene by performing proper foot and skin care.2
Fast Facts:
- Gangrene is most commonly found in lower limbs.2
- If you experience tingling sensations, burning, or pain, contact your health care provider immediately.2
- If you are diabetic and develop gangrene, without proper care you may have to have the affected limb amputated.1
